EF1 tornado in Scott County, Mississippi

A tornado started at Mississippi Highway 43 South in Rankin County where it uprooted some trees and continued eastward. As it crossed Noblin Bridge Road, the tornado increased intensity and destroyed a small outbuilding and caused additional tree damage. The tornado then continued east into southwestern Scott County. As it crossed Line Creek Road, the tornado reached it's peak intensity with an estimated peak wind gust of 105 mph and width of 670 yards. At this point, numerous trees were uprooted and snapped, and power lines were blown down. The tornado continued across Mississippi Highway 13 and damaged more trees before it began to weaken. A small farm building was damaged with its tin roof torn off along Stage Road. The tornado continued to weaken and then dissipated between Stage Rd and Mississippi Highway 481. The total path length across both counties was 9.89 miles.

A few rounds of severe thunderstorms moved across portions of Mississippi from late in the evening of April 12th through the evening of April 13th. These storms produced wind damage and several tornadoes before a cold front brought an end to storms from west to east.
