Gautier residents and leaders working to assess damages after tornadoes

Tornadoes Hit Jackson County

Two tornadoes touched down in Jackson County on Sunday, causing damage to homes and leaving debris, but no reported injuries.

An EF-1 tornado with winds of 95 miles per hour ripped through Gautier, causing significant damage to homes and apartments.

“I was in bed and I got up to look out back and saw everything flying around. I said, ‘That’s a tornado,’”

said 75-year-old Janet Estis, whose home was damaged. The storm knocked down her back fence, blew out a window, and ripped limbs off a tree in her front yard, with a large limb landing on her roof.

Estis rode out the storm in her safe place, a bathroom.
