Preliminary damage assessments conducted in Hattiesburg, Mississippi on Saturday showed the tornado packed winds, at times, between 136 and 165 mph, making it an EF3 — which can cause severe damage, the National Weather Service said.
William Carey University’s administration building (erected in 1914), had much of its roof detached, while the chairman of the Department of History, Myron Noonkester, was in his third-floor office.
