Tornado Ravages Historic Logtown Cemetery

A devastating tornado tore through Logtown Cemetery in Pearlington, toppling ancient trees and scattering debris across the historic burial grounds — the last physical link to a once-thriving lumber town erased by the Stennis Space Center. With access blocked by flooding and fallen timber, volunteers are rallying for a Saturday cleanup to restore the site honoring graves dating back to the 1800s. Local caretaker Tommy Joe McArthur shared the emotional toll of the damage, while officials urge the public to avoid visits until it’s safe — but invite everyone to help rebuild this sacred community landmark by Monday.
