- February_1971_Mississippi_Delta_tornado_outbreak abstract "The February 1971 Mississippi Delta tornado outbreak was a deadly tornado outbreak that struck portions of the Lower Mississippi River Valley and the Southeastern United States on February 21–22, 1971. The two-day outbreak produced 19 tornadoes and killed 123 people across three states. The majority of the fatalities were caused by three violent tornadoes across western Mississippi and northeastern Louisiana.Activity started early on the morning of February 21. The first tornadoes touched down in Texas east of Austin and north of Waco. The main activity intensified during the afternoon over the Mississippi River and Tennessee Valleys until the late evening hours. At around 3:00 PM CST a tornado touched down in Madison Parish, Louisiana, and moved northeast into Waverly, just east of Delhi and near present-day Interstate 20. Destroying several homes in Waverly, the tornado killed a family of 10 and caused F5 damage in the area. It continued through or near Alsatia and Melbourne before crossing the Mississippi River into Mississippi. Turning to the north-northeast, it struck areas near Mayersville and Delta City, causing more deaths. The funnel then made a sharp turn into the towns of Inverness and Moorhead before dissipating. It killed 47 people, 11 in Louisiana and 36 in Mississippi, with 21 of the deaths in Inverness alone, where 150 buildings were damaged or destroyed. The Delhi tornado is the only official F5 to have hit the State of Louisiana since official tornado records began in 1950 and the only F5 tornado ever recorded in the month of February. It is also the deadliest F5 tornado since the Candlestick Park tornado in 1966 killed 58 people across Mississippi and Alabama. 74 people died in the state of Mississippi. At around 4:00 PM CST, the deadliest tornado of the outbreak touched down just east of the Mississippi River near Fitler. Moving north-northeast, the tornado affected areas in and around Issaquena, Rolling Fork, Cary, Anguilla, Itta Bena, and Oxford before dissipating just across the Tennessee state line. Most of its path was just a few miles east of the areas affected by the F5 tornado and several counties were affected by both tornadoes. With 58 fatalities, including 14 near Cary and 21 in Pugh City, this tornado was the deadliest on record since the Udall tornado in 1955 killed 80 people. It was eventually displaced from this title during the April 25-28, 2011 tornado outbreak. It is also the deadliest tornado in Mississippi since 1950, surpassing the Candlestick Park tornado in 1966 by one fatality, though the Candlestick death occurred in Alabama. However, the number of deaths is well short of the 216 killed in the Tupelo F5 in 1936.Two other tornadoes in Mississippi killed at least 16 people in Yazoo, Warren and Sunflower Counties. The Yazoo County tornado is the 16th longest ever in Mississippi as it traveled for nearly 70 mi (110 km). In addition to confirmed tornadoes, an F3 tornado may have badly damaged eight homes, three barns, and a church in Wilson and DeKalb Counties, Tennessee, mainly near Prosperity and Liberty, west of Statesville. The possible tornado destroyed 14 other buildings, six cars, two homes, and five barns. Another home was unroofed as well. The path was reported to have been 16 mi (26 km) long.The outbreak is also one of the deadliest ever in the state, with 110 deaths. Most of the region was declared a disaster area by then-US President Richard Nixon. Additional tornadoes touched down on the following day from Indiana to the Carolinas, including one in the Columbus Metropolitan Area. A long-lived F3 tornado in North Carolina also killed two people near Fayetteville. The entire outbreak is the second deadliest ever in February, behind only the Enigma tornado outbreak in 1884 and ahead of the 2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak.".
