...NWS Damage Survey for 5/6 - 5/7 Tornado Event Update #1...

.Update...Review of available Sentinel 2 satellite imagery
revealed several substantial changes to the tornadoes for the
evening of May 6th and the morning of May 7th across southeast
Mississippi into southwest Alabama. This includes two additional
identified tornadoes in corroboration with radar tornado debris
signatures, as well as updates to the two tornadoes that were
already confirmed. Details on these can be found below.

.Beaumont...

Rating:                 EF1
Estimated Peak Wind:    110 mph
Path Length /statute/:  11.97 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   700 yards
Fatalities:             0
Injuries:               0

Start Date:             05/06/2026
Start Time:             07:37 PM CDT
Start Location:         3 S Mahned / Perry County / MS
Start Lat/Lon:          31.1663 / -89.0803

End Date:               05/06/2026
End Time:               07:55 PM CDT
End Location:           2 ENE Beaumont / Perry County / MS
End Lat/Lon:            31.1747 / -88.8827

Survey Summary:
Preliminary ground survey confirms EF1 damage beginning along US 
Highway 98 between New Augusta and Beaumont, with multiple areas 
of softwood and hardwood trees snapped or uprooted. Two 
concentrated areas of tree damage were noted along US Highway 98, 
suggesting multiple subvortices within a broader circulation. The 
maximum intensity occurred around US Highway 98 with winds around 
100 mph. The tornado continued generally eastward, crossing 
Highway 198 and tracking along or near V L Toussaint Blvd before 
weakening over the north side of Beaumont. Farther southwest, 
sporadic tree damage was also observed along Highway 29 south of 
New Augusta. Satellite data will be examined over the coming weeks
to determine the starting point for the tornado, as radar 
suggests that it likely formed over a wooded area southwest of New
Augusta. Further track adjustments are likely once satellite data
is available. 

After review of available Sentinel 2 satellite imagery the 
tornado track had major changes to its beginning and end points, 
width, and intensity. The tornado was found to have began much 
further west to the west of Highway 29 and just north of Red Hill 
Road. The tornado traversed forest uprooting and snapping trees 
along its path, reaching a peak intensity north of Red Hill Road 
where a large section of forest sustained significant damage. Here
wind speeds were likely in the 100 to 110mph range. The tornado 
evolved into a multi-vortex evident by several notable corridors 
of tree damage along the main tornado track. The tornado continued
east of Highway 29 gradually shrinking in size and weakening. 
During this period it dropped southeast a bit along FS Road 312 A.
The tornado began to re- intensify as forest damage became more 
noticeable until reaching Highway 98 where ground survey crew 
assessed damage. Satellite imagery supported the tornado being 
multi-vortex as several focused corridors of damage became evident
as it crossed Highway 98, consistent with ground survey 
assessments. Afte the ground survey end point, the tornado did 
continue into the forest causing forest damage across Horseshoe 
Bend Lake. It then reached the Leaf River where the last evidence 
of forest damage associated with the tornado was visible on 
Sentinel 2 satellite imagery. This is the estimated end point for 
the tornado. The tornado width was also updated to be 
approximately 700 yards wide. Additional adjustments are possible 
later as high- resolution satellite imagery becomes available over
the next month.

.Jonathan...

Rating:                 EF1
Estimated Peak Wind:    90 mph
Path Length /statute/:  4.39 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   120 yards
Fatalities:             0
Injuries:               0

Start Date:             05/06/2026
Start Time:             08:16 PM CDT
Start Location:         2 SW Jonathan / Greene County / MS
Start Lat/Lon:          31.2095 / -88.6632

End Date:               05/06/2026
End Time:               08:25 PM CDT
End Location:           2 ENE Jonathan / Greene County / MS
End Lat/Lon:            31.2329 / -88.5953

Survey Summary:
After review of available medium to high resolution satellite
imagery, it was determined an EF1 tornado occurred near Jonathan.
This tornado began southwest of Highway 63 where it began causing
intermittent tree damage across portions of the forest. After
crossing Highway 63, it moved into some open fields where it
continued to cause tree damage in a focused corridor. The tornado
strengthened on approach to Jonathan Road where a more persistent
corridor of tree damage was able to be observed. The tornado
continued northeast across Jonathan Road, reaching its peak
intensity around 90mph just northwest of Albert Smith Road where
a corridor of more substantial treefall was evident on satellite
imagery. The damage path becomes intermittent after this point,
with the last visible tree damage east of the Albert Smith Road
and Old Avera Road intersection. This is also where the radar
tornado debris signature dissipates, and no further damage is
evident further east via satellite imagery. Adjustments to the
tornado are possible later as high-resolution satellite imagery
becomes available over the next month.

.Grand Bay...

Rating:                 EF1
Estimated Peak Wind:    88 mph
Path Length /statute/:  4.63 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   150 yards
Fatalities:             0
Injuries:               0

Start Date:             05/07/2026
Start Time:             09:02 AM CDT
Start Location:         2 SE Dees / Mobile County / AL
Start Lat/Lon:          30.5376 / -88.3184

End Date:               05/07/2026
End Time:               09:09 AM CDT
End Location:           Saint Elmo / Mobile County / AL
End Lat/Lon:            30.5077 / -88.2494

Survey Summary:
Preliminary ground survey confirms low end EF1 damage northeast
of Grand Bay, Alabama. Maximum intensity of 88 mph was found on
Jim McNeil Loop Road where several large tree limbs were down
over a compact area. The tornado tracked southeast and produced
sporadic damage on Dedicated Road where a horse trailer was
flipped and more trees were damaged. After passing over Old
Pascagoula Road, additional tree damage with downed limbs and
snapped trees were found on Wells Road West. Satellite data will
be examined in the coming weeks to confirm the starting point of
the tornado, which is likely further to the northwest in wooded
areas over Jackson Creek east of Grand Bay Wilmer Road.

After review of available Sentinel 2 satellite imagery, the 
beginning and end points of the tornado have been adjusted to 
reflect a narrow corridor of persistent tree damage along the 
tornado track. The start point is brought back to just south of 
Davis Lane along Jackson Creek where minor tree damage becomes 
evident. The end point was adjusted southeast across Interstate 10
where tree damage became apparent again in the vicinity of Boe 
Road and Henley Road, in line with the location that the radar TDS
began to dissipate. No additional damage is visible southeast of 
this location. Further refinements of the track are possible later
as higher resolution imagery becomes available.

.Theodore Industrial Park...

End Location:           1 N Belle Fontaine / Mobile County / AL
End Lat/Lon:            30.5107 / -88.1098

Survey Summary:
Available Sentinel 2 satellite imagery and available radar data
with a tornado debris signature revealed a weak EF0 tornado
occurred near Theodore Industrial Park. Minor tree damage was
evident, beginning along the tree line north of Degussa Road.
This is where the first signs of a radar tornado debris signature
appear. The tornado crossed Rangeline Road, producing another
small corridor of tree damage west of Dauphin Island Parkway
along Cedar Wood Drive North. The damage path comes to an end at
Dauphin Island Parkway and serves as the end point for this
tornado.

...NWS Damage Survey for 5/22/2026 Tornado Event...

.Overview...Several mini spinny supercell thunderstorms tracked
across interior portions of southwest Alabama the morning of May
22nd, 2026. The combination of Climavision radar data revealing
radar tornado debris signatures with available Sentinel 2
satellite imagery assisted with determining the presence of three
tornadoes across Choctaw into Clarke counties. The results are
preliminary and additional changes may be made as higher
resolution satellite imagery becomes available in the coming
weeks.

near this location back on March 11th of this year along Poultry
Road. The tornado lifted just prior to reaching Highway 84.
