President Joe Biden has approved disaster relief for Mississippi, making funding available to those impacted by the severe storms that battered the state.
The EF, or Enhanced Fujita, scale assigns tornados a number from zero to five based on damage, with five being the most catastrophic. According to the Storm Prediction Center, EF-4 tornadoes make up only 1% of all tornadoes. Historically, the vast majority of twisters have been rated EF-0 or EF-1.
This combination of handout aerial images released by Planet Labs PBC shows the town of Rolling Fork, Mississippi, on July 13, 2020, and damage to the town on March 25, 2023, after a tornado touched down on March 24, 2023.Early data showed that that tornado was on ground for 59 miles over a period of about 70 minutes. Its maximum width was about three-quarters of a mile, or roughly 4,000 feet.
The tornado's maximum wind gust hasn't yet been determined, but an EF-4 tornado is capable gusts gusts between 166 and 200 mph. Gov. Tate Reeves, who submitted the disaster declaration, said on Saturday that the "scale of the damage and loss is evident everywhere affected today."
