EF5+ Tornado Philadelphia, Mississippi – Dixie Alley Outbreak



We spotted and called in this absolute monster of a tornado during the Dixie Alley Outbreak in 2011. It’s still to this day the strongest I’ve witnessed.

  1. Get them underground. I’m sure Reed found out soon after that we can’t have basements in most of Mississippi. πŸ˜…
    We have Yazoo clay soil that moves so much it will destroy basements.

  2. I lived in Jasper Al during this outbreak. The Cordova tornado was about 12 miles to our south & we were getting debris encased in ice falling at my workplace. The sad thing is Cordova got hit by an ef3 early that morning & it destroyed the north side of town. Then that afternoon an ef4 hit the south side of town. The whole downtown was completely destroyed. A lot of people don't know that there was a morning outbreak earlier that day. The outflow boundary from the morning storms is what caused the Hackleburg ef5. We also had 125mph straight line wind in Jasper from the morning QLCS which knocked out power to the whole county. Over 250,000 were without power statewide when the afternoon outbreak hit. That was a major factor in the high death toll. All I can say is thank God for the best tv meteorologist ever, James Spann.

  3. That day in MS & Alabama will remain in my brain forever. The intensity & giant size of some of the tornadoes that day was so shocking. It will happen again sooner or later so it’s good to check the weather everyday.
