EF1 tornado in Jackson County, Mississippi

A tornado touched down just southwest of the south end of Jim Ramsey Road moving northeast with minor damage on Fox Run Dr. The majority of the damage was on Fox Ridge Drive. Multiple manufactured homes had undercarriage and roof damage and were shifted off their foundation but none of the straps broke. One was split down the middle but after looking at it in detail, the part that split off was an addition to the home and was not anchored to the main home. This addition then pulled the rest of the home off with it. Uprooted and snapped trees were also noted in this area, many in a convergent pattern. The tornado ended near the intersection of Jim Ramsay Road and John Smith Road with minor roof damage to a well built home and damage to a nearby barn, along with two large trees uprooted.
