EF1 tornado in Lawrence County, Mississippi

An EF-1 tornado began along Tilton Creek just west of the intersection of Tilton Road and Givens Road. It crossed Givens Rd and moved northeast along Tilton Road. The tornado mostly uprooted and damaged trees, and a couple of sheds were damaged or destroyed. One home had minor roof damage. The tornado dissipated after it had traveled two miles along Tilton Road. The estimated peak wind speed was 90 mph, and the maximum width was 200 yards. A tornadic debris signature was detected by radar with this tornado.

As a low pressure system moved from the High Plains toward the Great Lakes on November 29th, a warm front lifted north from the Gulf Coast. Strong wind shear interacted with the increasingly unstable environment across Mississippi, and widespread strong to severe thunderstorms developed through the day and into the evening. This severe weather episode was marked by many supercell thunderstorms which were observed on radar and by storm chasers in the region. Large hail fell mainly in areas through the Delta Region, but damaging wind gusts and tornadoes were common through much of the central and southern portions of the state. The strongest tornadoes were rated EF-2.
