I will be following and sheltering in place even though I’m outside the highest risk area. Will close market on Sunday and resolve following a couple days’ time to ensure I don’t inaccurately resolve any of these.
Stay safe, and I’ll see yall on the other side of this.

With the most severe storms’ survey complete (both of the strongest tornados’ paths cutting through Walthall County/Tylertown), I am resolving this market. Thank you all, and if you can identify links online to donate to storm victims beyond what I share now, feel free in a comment.
Updated link shows surveys I mentioned last night are now posted.
Based on this data, EF-1, EF-2, and EF-3 resolve YES, and I will keep the remaining unresolved until the planned surveys are complete.
Preliminary damage surveys were released to the media, but these are incomplete and not yet posted to the weather.gov site. I’m preferring to wait to fully resolve until the findings are posted on NWS, but because this was such a short window, I’m open to feedback for resolution on this by tomorrow. Other outlets yesterday reported that the EF-3 in the article below may have done EF-4 level damage judging by its destruction of the Salem Attendance Center in Walthall County, MS.
There has been a ton of activity across the state. Will confirm the intensity of the storms through NOAA or NWS when they report https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bDuYNgWJG7M&pp=ygUPcnlhbiBoYWxsIHknYWxs
Adding a link to explain the Enhanced Fujita scale for anyone unfamiliar and would like to invest. It’s scaled roughly similarly to hurricanes but the sustained wind speed and 3-second gust scales don’t fully align.
