If you mean Leakesville, Mississippi, then much of Mississippi is in what is known as Dixie Alley. It is a region not unlike Tornado Alley to the west that experiences a large number of tornadoes, especially strong ones. This has a lot to do with the very warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico that often moves over the area. This provides an enormous amount of energy to power violent thunderstorms. Given favorable wind shear and a few other conditions which are common in the region (though not quite as much as in Tornado Alley), these storms can produce tornadoes.

So in short, the Leakesville, Mississippi area predicts a lot of tornadoes because it is in a region that gets a lot of tornadoes.

Can we predict when extreme tornadoes will happen?

Only to a very limited degree. Analysis of weather conditions can help determine the potential for tornadoes, including strong tornadoes, across a region on a given day. However, it cannot predict how strong individual tornadoes will be or where they will strike. We can also tell if a specific storm cell has potential to produce strong tornadoes, but we still cannot predict excactly when a tornado will form.

That is impossible to predict. Tornadoes cannot be predicted in the long term. Lead times in forecasting tornadoes are measured in minutes, not months.


Are hurricanes less predictible than tornadoes yes or no?

No, hurricanes are generally easier to predict. Hurricanes are much larger than tornadoes and occur over the course of days, as opposed to tornadoes which typically last a few minutes. As a result it is easier to study and monitor hurricanes and therefor predict them.
