Mississippi Tornado on Ground for 149 Miles

National Weather Service offices in the Mid South have been very busy over the past several days, conducting damage surveys after the tornado outbreak this past weekend. Of course, the big story has been the long-track wedge that ravaged Mississippi. Taken from the NWS office in Jackson, MS, "The preliminary conclusion, based on the ground surveys, is that a single, continuous path of tornadic damage was produced from west of Tallulah, Louisiana to the extreme western part of Oktibbeha county in northeast Mississippi." This tornado was given a rating of EF-4, with a maximum width of 1.75 miles. It was on the ground for an astounding 149 miles, one of the all-time longest ever recorded. - Tornado Videos .net
