Wider weather episode

A line of severe thunderstorms moved through portions of western and central Mississippi on the evening of May 15th. Widespread damaging winds downed numerous trees and power lines with several trees falling onto structures and vehicles. Outflow from these thunderstorms created a dust storm across the Mississippi Delta as visibilities dropped to one quarter of a mile before the rain started. In addition, a separate cluster of storms in eastern Mississippi produced scattered wind damage across Noxubee County.
