"The conditions were just perfect for the storm to last a very long time, and that is usually not common," said Lance Perrilloux, a meteorologist with the NWS in Jackson, Mississippi. It developed from a supercell storm - a rotating storm where the updraft and the downdraft are separated. The tornado looked enormous as it approached the small town of Rolling Fork, with some calling it a "wedge tornado".
