The Candlestick Park tornado struck central Mississippi and western Alabama on March 3, 1966[1]. The storm is named for the Candlestick Park Shopping Center in the southwest part of Jackson, MS, which was completely destroyed[2]. After passing through Jackson, leaving F5 damage in its' wake, the storm (probably a very intense tornado family) left a nearly continual damage path over 200 miles long [1] across 7 Mississippi and 3 Alabama counties, causing 58 fatalities and 518 injuries before dissipating northeast of Tuscaloosa.
