EF1 Tornado — George, Mississippi

2025-03-04 · near Agricola, George, Mississippi

Event narrative

An EF1 tornado began near the intersection of Marshall Smith Road and Cooks Corner Road where a farm building was completely destroyed on the west side of the road. On the east side of the road, another large outbuilding/trailer was rolled off its supporting blocks and debris strewn towards the east across the entire length of the field. A hardwood tree was also snapped on the north side of the tornado vortex and another outbuilding adjacent to this was destroyed. A narrow corridor of the debris field was no more than 30 yards wide and made a right turn as it continued across the field depositing debris from the destroyed upstream structures. The tornado resumed an east-northeast path reaching Gavin Churchwell Road where it uprooted a large hardwood tree that was laying northeast. After this point, the tornado likely lifted as no signs of convergent damage could be found further northeast on Cooks Corner Road nor Highway 613.
