Large, multiple-vortex wedge tornado confirmed by numerous pictures and videos. In Lamar County, after it touched down west-southwest of West Hattiesburg, Oak Grove High School, its baseball fields, and a housing area near the school sustained the most intense damage, with one well-built brick home being leveled and the school sustaining substantial roof damage. Several buildings around the athletic stadiums at the school were destroyed and several steel lights with concrete reinforcement were snapped. Vehicles were thrown considerable distances, one of which was taken from a parking lot at the high school, rolled up a hill and across the field, and then deposited onto the pitchers mound. Just before crossing Interstate 59, it caused significant roof damage to an apartment complex. Altogether, in Lamar County, 51 homes were damaged and another 170 suffered major damage. In Forrest County, roughly 300 homes and other buildings, including a large church and several brick buildings in downtown Hattiesburg, were damaged. The University of Southern Mississippi sustained damage across the western portion of the campus. Many trees, medal traffic lights, and power lines were downed as well, with some of the trees being debarked. The Red Cross and girl scouts buildings sustained significant damage and large metal poles were bent at the athletic fields of Hattiesburg High School. It continued into Petal, where a hardware store was leveled and numerous homes were destroyed. The tornado weakened to EF1-strength in Perry County before weakening rapidly and lifting in a wooded area just east of the Forrest/Perry County line. In total in Forrest County, 133 homes were destroyed and 207 suffered major damage. 82 people were injured; 19 in Lamar County and 63 in Forrest County. This was the first violent tornado to occur in Lamar and Forrest Counties since April 24, 1908.
