Tornado intensity is the measure of wind speeds and potential risk produced by a tornado. Intensity can be measured by in situ or remote sensing measurements, but since these are impractical for wide-scale use, intensity is usually inferred by proxies , such as damage.

The International Fujita scale (abbreviated as IF-Scale) rates the intensity of tornadoes and other wind events based on the severity of the damage they cause. [1] It is used by the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) and various other organizations including Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and State Meteorological Agency (AEMET).

Many other structures were destroyed at EF4 intensity along the path of this tornado as well and entire groves of large trees were mowed down and completely stripped of their bark. The massive tornado reached a width of 2.25 miles (3.62 km), making it the widest tornado in Mississippi history and the third-widest on record in the United States.
