on the gulf coast. reporter: well, it is because it was such a large tornado. you re talking about something two miles wide. it s damage like this to a house, cowerport s gone, once that goes, you re pretty much at the mercy of whatever the wind throws in there. this is just one home. if you look across this little lake, you can get an idea of which way the wind was blowing, coming from this direction and kind of blowing trees over just like they were bowling pins. you can go just as far as you can see and you can go as wide as you can see to see that type of destruction. we ve already seen the national weather service declare this as a 97 mile path. here s the deal. there s still half of the keens in mississippi to survey. they re going to do that this afternoon. this could very well have a path between 180 and 200 miles an hour. that s one tornado. and that would be hick path for mississippi. the longest track ever here was back in march of 1966, 203 miles.
