Using high-resolution satellite imagery, the paths of all previously surveyed tornadoes have been refined, including adjusting start and end points as necessary. The maximum wind speed of the Gautier tornado was also adjusted upward slightly based on newly received damage pictures where cleanup had already taken place before the ground survey was conducted. Two additional tornadoes were also identified in the high-resolution satellite imagery - an EF-1 tornado in Terrebonne Parish near Humphreys, and a an EF-0 within the Pascagoula River basin north of Gautier in Jackson County. .Tornado #1 - Whitehall, LA... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 75 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.95 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/30/2025 Start Time: 04:38 AM CDT Start Location: 3 E Whitehall / Livingston Parish / LA Start Lat/Lon: 30.2724 / -90.6487 End Date: 10/30/2025 End Time: 04:41 AM CDT End Location: 4 E Whitehall / Livingston Parish / LA End Lat/Lon: 30.2771 / -90.6338 Survey Summary: An EF-0 tornado crossed Bear Island Road south of Hwy 22, causing damage mostly to trees. One home suffered minor roof damage, and a large metal canopy was thrown about 25 to 40 yard to the southeast. High resolution satellite imagery helped to identify the start and end of this tornado over the inaccessible marsh areas where defoliation and minor tree damage were evident. The marsh damage was also collocated with an evident tornado debris signature on KHDC radar imagery. .Tornado #2 - Rural Terrebonne Parish - Newly confirmed... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 7.79 miles Path Width /maximum/: 250 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/26/2025 Start Time: 05:22 AM CDT Start Location: 11 SE Amelia / Terrebonne Parish / LA Start Lat/Lon: 29.5452 / -90.9813 End Date: 10/26/2025 End Time: 05:40 AM CDT End Location: 7 WSW Bayou Cane / Terrebonne Parish / LA End Lat/Lon: 29.6018 / -90.8712 Survey Summary: The damage path of an EF-1 tornado was identified via high resolution satellite imagery over inaccessible rural marsh areas of Terrebonne Parish, southwest of Humphreys, LA. This tornado began southwest of Blue Bird Canal where a defined, but weak path of damage to marsh vegetation was evident. The marsh damage continued northeast across Blue Bird Canal, narrowly missing fishing camps, and was collocated with a strong tornado vortex signature on KHDC radar imagery. The tornado intensified as it crossed the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Hackberry with numerous displaced trees evident along a canal and maximum path width around 250 yards. This was collocated with a tornado debris signature that was identified on Climavision V014 radar imagery. The tornado continued northeast and quickly weakened which is corroborated by KHDC and Climavision radar imagery. The tornado evidently lifted prior to reaching structures along Bayou Black Drive in Humphreys. .Tornado #3 - Hammond, LA... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 2.45 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/26/2025 Start Time: 05:38 AM CDT Start Location: 3 NW Robert / Tangipahoa Parish / LA Start Lat/Lon: 30.5402 / -90.3808 End Date: 10/26/2025 End Time: 05:56 AM CDT End Location: 5 NNW Robert / Tangipahoa Parish / LA End Lat/Lon: 30.5749 / -90.381 Survey Summary: An EF-1 tornado was confirmed by NWS ground survey northeast of Hammond, LA in Tangipahoa Parish. The ground survey first noted damage near River Rd and Arbuthnott Drive. The tornado moved generlaly northward to the east of River Rd causing additional damage mostly to trees. The strongest damage surveyed was along Dummyline Rd where it snapped several large trees, before the tornado crossed the Tangipahoa River. It then caused additional tree damage and destroyed a tent on the grounds of Camp Living Waters. Remote survey techniques utilizing high-resolution satellite imagery identified additional damage just north of Dusty Ln between Diana Ln and Calmes Ln, as a start point. The same imagery also indicated the tornado continued past the cap ground, causing tree damage near Robert Perkins Rd, and gradually weakening and lifting as it approached Chappepeela Rd. .Tornado #4 - Gautier, MS... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 4.50 miles Path Width /maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/27/2025 Start Time: 09:22 AM CDT Start Location: 1 S Gautier / Jackson County / MS Start Lat/Lon: 30.373 / -88.6438 End Date: 10/27/2025 End Time: 09:39 AM CDT End Location: 3 N Gautier / Jackson County / MS End Lat/Lon: 30.4341 / -88.6326 Survey Summary: An EF-1 tornado was confirmed by NWS ground survey teams in Gautier, MS. The tornado touched down east of Ladnier Rd near Bacot Park where it stripped flashing off of apartments and broke large tree limbs as it moved northward. It caused minor damage on Connie Circle where it displaced a tree. This early damage, while intermittent aligns with a weak tornado debris signature in KMOB radar data. The tornado then began to intensify and reached an initial peak of EF-1 strength just south of US Hwy 90 causing substantial damage to a restaurant and a concentrated area of tree damage. The tornado moved northward across US Hwy 90 causing tree damage on the campus of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. It weakened to EF-0 intensity and continued to cause minor damage to homes and trees as it moved from the Northwood Hills community through Westgate Parkway. The tornado continued to move northeastward and restrengthened as it approached Martin Bluff Road. In this area it caused roof damage to several buildings in the Bayou Village Apartments complex. In the Glenmark Apartments complex, the tornado destroyed a large wood- frame shed, shifted a small outbuilding from its foundation, and caused roof damage to several buildings. It also caused roof damage and the collapse of the parapet wall facade on two buildings at the Riverbend Condominiums in the same area. The tornado crossed Martin Bluff Road causing increasingly isolated tree and roof damage across Victoria Dr and Courtney St. The ground survey was unable to access reas north of Courtney St. However, high- resolution satellite imagery indicates the tornado caused a narrow swath of tree damage in the forrested area between Courtney St. and I-19. A Mississippi Department of Transportation traffic camera showed the tornado lifting as it approached Interstate 10. .Tornado #5 - Pascagoula River Basin - Newly confirmed... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.61 miles Path Width /maximum/: 125 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/26/2025 Start Time: 09:41 AM CDT Start Location: 4 N Gautier / Jackson County / MS Start Lat/Lon: 30.4495 / -88.6245 End Date: 10/26/2025 End Time: 09:56 AM CDT End Location: 2 NW Escatawpa / Jackson County / MS End Lat/Lon: 30.519 / -88.5772 Survey Summary: The damage path of an EF-0 tornado was identified via high- resolution satellite analysis east of the Hickory Hills neighborhood in Jackson County, MS. This tornado succeeded the Gautier tornado which lifted before crossing I-10. The storm recycled and quickly produced this subsequent tornado as it moved into the Pascagoula River Basin. Evident vegetation scarring in the marsh and damage to trees was visible in the high-resolution satellite imagery and peaked around 125 yards in width. The tornado continued northeast where a tornado debris signature became evident in KMOB radar data. The debris signature continued as the tornado gradually weakened over the river basin. The tornado is estimated to have lifted over the Pascagoula River Basin near Clark Bayou and west of Hwy 63. No structural damage was evident with this tornado damage path. ..Tornado 6 - Pascagoula, MS... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.74 miles Path Width /maximum/: 200 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 10/26/2025 Start Time: 10:12 AM CDT Start Location: 2 ENE Pascagoula / Jackson County / MS Start Lat/Lon: 30.3697 / -88.5135 End Date: 10/26/2025 End Time: 10:20 AM CDT End Location: 2 SSE Moss Point / Jackson County / MS End Lat/Lon: 30.3928 / -88.5099 Survey Summary: The tornado touched down near Arlington Elementary School and moved northeastward causing generally minor damage to trees and a few residential roofs. The tornado was strongest as it approached Old Mobile Ave, where it uprooted several trees in a convergent pattern on the south side of the road near the intersection with Chateau Dr. As the tornado approached the north side of the Briarwood subdivision along Arrowhead Dr, it began to occlude, taking turn to the north and then northwest as it approached Industrial Ave. It then crossed Hwy 90 and lifted as it approached Shortcut Rd. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ CAB/MD/KLG/TJS/DM
