[jmeier37]

that has got to be about a mile-wide tornado, slower rotation than Tuscaloosa, great video footage, I like the building lol

[kdolo100]

@jmeier37 Half-mile wide

[olemissguy0125]

@jmeier37 Tuscaloosa was an EF-4, this is an EF-5. stronger rotation on this storm.

and btw the last tornado to hit this area wasnt 100 years ago it was around 30, and there was a small one when I was in elementry school that touched down but did no damage :-)~

[chriswelch1971]

that is smithville lock and dam any idiot that lives around here can tell you(including me,and I live 5 min from smithville,I even lived there for 4 years prior to moving to Amory 5 months ago

I used to fish at the damn growing up,I personally know what the landscape looks like as well as the dam and if you dont think the tonado is real I am pretty sure my brother's photos from his front yard is proof enough

[dylandecarolis7221]

oh ok sorry about that

[dylandecarolis7221]

there is no wikins lock in smithville you are lying to all these people saying smithville had a tornado. the last time smithville had a tornado was about 100 years from now and i thinks cameras werent invented then

[surveyormike1]

@dylandecarolis7221 It's Smithville, Mississipi my friend, not Smithville, Ontario, Canada

[meriembouss]

@dylandecarolis7221 Just WOW! You should do some research before calling people liars. We lived this tornado and people lost everything they had and many lost their lives here! I think an apology to the poster would be nice.

[bamatracker92]

As I watched this video for this first a few mins ago, I could just see the timing of about when it hit our house. Me and my 2 sons were trying to get in my sister-in-laws house and didnt make it inside. We got caught in it outside...very scary moments as the winds swept both of my boys out of my arms. We're all very lucky to be alive, even if we lost everything. I actually thought we WERE going to die that day. Just glad God was with us all that day. God bless Smithville & all areas!!

[surveyormike1]

gbamatracker92 I'm glad you and your children are safe. Sorry you lost your property.

[dylandecarolis7221]

this is not smithville because i live in smithville it looks nothing like that

[surveyormike1]

@dylandecarolis7221  As it says, we were at the Wilkins Lock, which as I'm sure you know, is at Smithville.

[brianestis01]

This is the tornado that claimed my parents life and went right over my brother and his wife and kids also my wife and kids I was working at the time

[surveyormike1]

[brianestis01]

[shalamar07]

If U guys could have only known then what was happening.

[jellric]

That is one of two EF5 tornadoes to hit MS in the same day- first time in history that has happened in MS. Last time was 1990 in Kansas.

[TheShooter8541]

Wow...I was behind the house, on the waterway, when this bohemoth passed. It created the most destruction that I've personally witnessed in a long time...My heart and prayers are with you Smithville.

[leeidoc]

WTH is that beeping noise????

[surveyormike1]

@leeidoc

I believe that may have been an alarm signifying a gate was open somewhere.........

[leeidoc]
