Here is a preliminary map of the Walthall County portion of the recently upgraded EF-4 tornado from Sunday. Note that the entire track was not EF-4 intensity, but rather a small area near the end of the track here before the tornado continued into Lawrence County. #mswx

The Easter EF4 tornado that began in Jefferson Davis Co. and tracked for ~68 miles before lifting in Clarke Co. was at least 2 miles wide. This will be the widest tornado in Mississippi history, surpassing the April 24, 2010 tornado that tracked through Yazoo City (1.75 miles).

They were happening simultaneously. The northern most Tornado was maybe 30 mins behind the first as it passed just north of Collins.
