Tornado in Warren County, Mississippi

This tornado began near Thomastown Road in eastern Madison Parish, Louisiana. This is where a few trees were downed then continued across the Louisiana levee of the Mississippi River. To the east of the levee several trees were snapped along a tree line.

As the tornado continued eastward, crossing into Mississippi, the path became inaccessible due to the Mississippi River and flooded areas on the Mississippi side between the Yazoo and Mississippi rivers. However, a Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) was noted continuing eastward into Mississippi. The tornado ended before reaching accessible areas and the damage path and end point are estimated with radar data. Maximum winds on the Mississippi side are unknown. The maximum estimated winds for the entire tornado was 95 mph. The total path length was 6.57 miles.

A strong storm system moved through the Lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday March 22nd. An associated line of severe thunderstorms quickly raced across Mississippi during the day resulting in widespread wind damage and numerous tornadoes.
