The tornado moved eastward through the Half Moon Creek lower wooded areas before crossing Beach Road, retaining a consolidated core that could be observed transecting the roadway twice as the tornado track roughly paralleled the roadway. The tornado produced mostly vegetative damage until it approached western Purvis in the Boggy Hollow areas where outbuildings were damaged or destroyed and trees were blown onto homes. A mobile home was blown off of its blocks just north of Purvis-to-Columbia Road, which the tornado approximately moved along as it traveled east-northeast. The tornado intensified to its maximum intensity, producing damage that suggests maximum winds were at least 135 mph as several residences had roofs removed as well as some exterior walls blown inward near Coal Town Road and Highway 589. Significant damage was also observed along Central Industrial Row where several metal building system (MBS) warehouse and commercial buildings had walls and internal structures including pillars/columns and roofing purlins destroyed. Numerous other facilities suffered substantial loss of roofing materials including the Lamar County Multi-Purpose Center. The tornado continued eastward downing numerous trees and causing widespread damage to roofs and outbuildings before dissipating just east of US Highway 11.

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 begun 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.", "sourceDetail": "NWS MOB — NWS Storm Survey via Iowa Mesonet (GeoJSON)", "evidenceLevel": "reported" }, { "id": "iem-geo-2026-05-06-tornado-31.18--88.95", "lat": 31.18, "lon": -88.95, "zip": "", "city": "1 SE Ferguson", "date": "2026-05-06", "county": "Perry", "source": "IEM Local Storm Reports", "severity": "moderate", "eventType": "tornado", "confidence": 0.9, "damageTypes": [ "Structural roof failure", "Debris penetration", "Complete shingle removal" ], "description": "NWS storm survey confirms EF1 tornado with maximum winds of around 100 mph began just west of US Highway 98 and tracked east into the north side of Beaumont before weakening.", "sourceDetail": "NWS MOB — NWS Storm Survey via Iowa Mesonet (GeoJSON)", "evidenceLevel": "reported" }, { "id": "iem-ww-JAN-SV-W-153-Forrest-wind-2026-05-06", "zip": "", "city": "Forrest", "date": "2026-05-06", "county": "Forrest", "source": "IEM Watch/Warn Archive", "severity": "high", "eventType": "wind", "confidence": 0.72, "damageTypes": [ "Roof shingle lift", "Soffit/fascia damage", "Tree strike risk", "Fence/screen damage" ], "description": "Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued by NWS JAN for Forrest on 2026-05-06.
