1043 PM     Tornado          9 NW Salem              31.31N 90.24W
05/06/2026                   Walthall           MS   NWS Storm Survey

            A NWS ground survey confirmed an EF-0
            tornado with maximum sustained winds of 85
            mph tracked across portions of northern
            Walthall County, near Enon, MS. This tornado
            began near MS Hwy 44 and Willie Cothern Rd
            where it uprooted trees, lifted metal
            roofing off a porch, and snapped a few
            smaller tree trunks. The tornado continued
            east where it damaged shingles on a church
            and uprooted and snapped a few trees. Minor
            tree damage continued eastward across New
            Home Church Road with plenty of tree debris
            across the road. This tree damage gradually
            became more sparse and less concentrated
            near Harvey Ratliff Road. Additional
            revisions to this tornado are possible after
            high resolution satellite analysis is
            conducted over the coming weeks.
