The morning after a large tornado tracked across Mississippi; the daylight painted a bad picture. The town of Amory took a direct hit. Businesses throughout the town had damage. Poles and lines laid across the roadway on the way in to town. Numerous trees came crashing down on houses and on the roadway. Amory High School had damage as well as extensive damage to their sports complex. Metal beam work that held sponsors and lights at the complex was seen twisted and mangled over to the ground as well. The Amory National Guard also took a hit. Roofs of residents came off as well in downtown. Emergency vehicles were steadily running code throughout the day. Multiple law enforcement and first responders from other areas of the state came to assist any way they could.

The amount of destruction that happened so quickly is terrifying. I can't imagine going through what these folks have. Tornadoes are disturbing and violent as-is; to have one happen in the pitch black night while rain wrapped is unfathomable. I wish the survivors a speedy recovery.

🙏🌪️👌

[@knaudi86]

Having been in one like this (late at night, rain wrapped) and never being able to see it makes it hard to process long term. Its like you've been assaulted by someone but never got to see their face.

[@dadofmine9957]

It's so heartbreaking to see my hometown so devastated. We lost part of our home, but no injuries.

[@ParkerSlaps]

Did it hit the heritage inn?

[@patriciagreen8245]

I’m sorry for your house but I’m glad everyone is fine♥️

[@IvanHopper]

This is where I'm from too, and it's so hard to see damage in Amory like this

[@ericharrison2236]

When you are looking at the destruction and can't even make out what it was before it was destroyed , that's bad.

[@tyrel7185]

Prayers for all affected 🙏. 🇺🇸

[@davidbertrand6884]

😢😭🥺🙏🛐 for all that lost everything and their lives. Just horrific….. Oh Jesus, give these folks hope and assuring grace that help will come to rebuild it all back better, amen ✝️☦️ 3-25-2023 🇺🇸

[@commissaryarrick9670]

Weird how it was hell last night but now the birds are chirping and sun is shining like nothing happened

[@dwlsn93]

Right! I feel the same way when loved ones die - just how can the world not seem to notice 😢?

[@berlingolingoful]

Birds are trying to figure out where all the trees went

[@conservativejoe]

Amory was TRULY blessed! Watching the radar last night we were all expecting the damage to be 1000x worse. God answered our prayers we poured out for them! Praise be to God!!

[@allenmarett3407]

I love Amory. My prayers are with you all.

[@deanhoward4128]

Prayers for everybody in Mississippi!

[@kyle2931]

Lots of love to Amory and surrounding areas. EF4 - good gosh.

[@CallMeGasser]

I roam amory almost every day and I never thought it would look like this, I still can’t comprehend all this😢

[@hansenfiet2539]

I’ve been seeing EF-4 level damage out of Silver City and Amory, but Rolling Fork was definitely at EF-5 level. I haven’t seen complete destruction like that since Joplin. Ground scouring and granulated debris can only be had with wind speeds well over 200mph.

[@PetethePorpoise]

But it will be rated a very very very high end EF4 tornado with wind speeds of 199.999999 mph because there was one washer missing from one anchor bolt in the northwest corner of the house so even though trees were debarked and denuded and the ground was scoured down to mud and asphalt and concrete was ripped from the earth and a water tower was shredded and pancaked *takes deep breath*, obviously only 199.999999 mph winds could have done this and not 200.000001 mph winds because there was one washer missing from one anchor bolt in the northwest corner of the house. -- Sincerely, NWS Engineering Damage Survey Team

@@PetethePorpoise lmao It’s true though

[@KB-ke3fi]

The hometown of Muddy Waters....sad

[@KB-ke3fi]

@@PetethePorpoise That's pretty funny, Pete. A good friend of mine died in that storm. He just retired. Moved there from out west. Do you feel better now?

[@PetethePorpoise]

​@@KB-ke3fi Nothing I said made fun of your friend or anyone else affected by these storms. I am satirizing the lengths the NWS seems to go to these past several years to avoid accurately classifying tornadoes as EF5 even when the evidence is abundant. Moreover, if they DID classify these storms accurately, the insurance payouts received by affected families would possibly be higher and more helpful after the fact for rebuilding. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. A friend of mine died in the 2020 Cookeville TN EF4 tornado and I do still miss them.

[@70s80sVintage]

So very sorry for this community. I was watching Ryan Hall and Andy Hill on KZbin the entire evening and was praying that this (and other towns) made it through. Mother Nature reminds us how fragile things are once and a while. May God Bless those who are recovering, and may the victims RIP.

[@juliaweber212]

I agree I hope they get the food and water and shelters they need

[@suew4609]

Prayers for all suffering from this tragedy 🙏❤️🙏

[@dwlsn93]

I live in FL, but from IL. I’ll take a hurricane any day over a tornado 🌪️ 😓 🙏🏼 thoughts & prayers to all in MS, AL & TN 💔😢

[@Bermuda419_reelmower]

So sad man we never know how blessed we are until something like this happens praying for the state of Ms

[@patriciagreen8245]

My family is there. The Carter’s theGilleylens the Morgan’s. Nerver. Seen y’all but. 💔🌺

[@iiDOCKERY]

Amory isn’t near as bad as it looked like it would be on radar last night when it went through amory it looked stronger than it did in rolling fork

[@The_Joshuan_Empire]

I mean DEFINITELY still EF3+ maybe EF4 Damage, but it's not a situation damage wise like Rolling Fork is, because rolling Fork for sure is garenteed to be EF4 at the lowest because there are houses with no walls standing, hell even a BRICK house no walls standing.

[@loopthetube]

Last night while it was still ongoing the chasers were saying north Amory so maybe some there were spared.

[@spacechampyt]

I can only pray so much 🙏

[@ewhitfield1659]

I see no pics or footage for West Amory!!

[@chicago-l9125]

Living in southern Arizona, I saw this system come through my area producing unseasonably cool temperatures, especially during the early morning hours. Coupled with that were frequent intermittent periods of precipitation amounts that aren't common for us this time of year. For each time this pattern repeats itself, it tells me that once it reaches the nation's mid section and southern states, it's going to create big-time severe weather events, particularly violent tornado outbreaks. And folks, it's not over yet! Another weather pattern, similar to the ones that have brought unusual amounts of rain and flooding to California and the desert southwest, is making its way into California and Arizona. I hate to say it, but we could possibly see a repeat of this tornadic devastation next week. And especially so now that we have officially entered "tornado season."

[@AprilH999]

Interesting to know! Unfortunately, it’s common to see severe weather in the spring here in the south every 1 or 2 weeks during the spring. Maybe more in some areas. It’s just a matter of where. 🙁

[@phoenixlight1111]

I wonder what those birds are chirping about....sounds so peaceful in the back drop of this destruction.

[@travelwithus750]

That is my house at 3:45 with black car in driveway. Worst experience of our life but we all lived and rebuild bigger and better

[@juliaweber212]

I hope everyone got to their shelters if they had a plan

[@almercraft488]

🙏🙏🙏

[@YourBoeingBenefitBrain]

What about the building that has court and other services in it? Was it hit?

[@thatrandomguycommenting1261]

Crazy that this tornado didn't just mop the floor of this town. The radar looked insane. Thankfully of course.

[@GiovanniVCorsentini]

It almost hit me I was in the path laurel Mississippi before jt switched directions and went to silver

[@DefenderAO]

Rewatching the Dec 10th Mayfield Kentucky event, the impact nd damage looked very similar. I doubt we'll see an EF5 rating for any of it. Mayfield looked similarly wiped. Terrible event. Amory's radar signature looked the scariest I've ever seen.

[@stevenavery6297]

Has the NWS confirmed the rating of this tornado?

[@MrPhotodoc]

Tax payers will need to dig deep this year. It's going to be a rough ride.

[@bondoly66]

Didn't get Eddie's house.

[@jasonhedricksen]

I can only imagine the difference it would make if these multi million dollar mega churches filled with hundreds and thousands of "professing christians" did something to help people and disaster relief. The preacher Kenneth Copeland should sell his mansion and private airplane to help some of these people.

It's been 2000 years & counting. But the end is near !

[@YAhsTrueNation]

👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾 Ever notice tornadoes and hurricanes almost never touch the hood… Amerikkkaren and Euro Gentile countries must repent for her crimes against our nation. TTrains tipping over spewing poison; animals dropping dead; whales washing ashore; locust and mice taking over Australia after the fires burnt it up; etc, etc, etc…

[@Sam-rf8yh]

Ironic how God is always ripping to shreds to most fundamentalist Christian parts of America.

[@T410ce]

God doesn’t play games. He judges his own children first and foremost, and like you’ve pointed out, it seems that the Bible Belt is not obeying him very well and is incurring his wrath more and more. Judgement begins with the people of God. Now clearly I am generalizing and many people that don’t know Jesus were affected… but still it makes a person wonder…..

Did u guys help anyone in the community?
