2022-04-05 · near Denham, Wayne, Mississippi

Event narrative

A brief but strong EF1 tornado began in the forested area west of

Duncan Hill Road. The tornado then quickly crossed Duncan Hill

Road snapping and uprooting numerous softwood trees. Several trees

fell on a home causing damage to the home. The tornado then

continued into the woods where the path was not able to be

tracked; however, it appears to have lifted somewhere in the

wooded areas east of Duncan Hill Road.

Wider weather episode

A very active Spring severe weather season continued in April. A very strong storm system and associated cold front swept across the area during the morning of April 5th. A very unstable atmosphere combined with strong wind shear led to a severe weather outbreak across portions of the deep south. Eight tornado tracks were found along with other areas of wind damage.
