The 2018 Ripley tornado was a large, violent, deadly and destructive event that occurred during a larger outbreak, demolishing much of the town of Ripley in Mississippi in the process of passing through. In total, the tornado caused the deaths of 11 people, the injuries of 112 more, and $260 million in damages. In addition to this, a tornado emergency was also declared for the area, and mobile homes were swept away entirely. It was the worst tornado to ever hit the town, and it took years to rebuild the areas ravaged by the storm.
