What was the category of the great Natchez tornado?
The Great Natchez tornado was never rated. The Fujita scale, which rates tornadoes, was crated in 1971, but has been used to rate tornadoes retrospectively. To rate a tornado you need information on the severity of the damage it did and the quality of construction of the buildings it hit. Unfortunately, as you look at older records, there is generally less useful information. Because of this, no tornado that occurred before 1871 has received a rating. The Natchez tornado was in 1840. That said, by comparing this tornado with other major killers, it is reasonable to say that it was probably an F4 or F5.
