There have been many tornadoes in Mississippi. One of the worst was the Great Natchez tornado of May 7, 1840. This tornado started in Louisiana and then crossed the Mississippi River and struck Natchez, which is said to have been completely engulfed by the mile wide funnel. The official death toll of this tornado is 317, making it the second deadliest in U.S. history. However, the actual death toll was probably much higher. Most of the deaths ocurred in boats on the river and it is likely that many bodies were never recovered and thus never counted.
