EF1 tornado in Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi

An EF-1 tornado touched down near the intersection of Bassfield Cemetery Road and McLeod Drive and then moved to the northeast. At the start, some tin was blown off a large shed and some power poles were broken. As it crossed Bass and South Williamsburg Roads, several trees were damaged and an awning was blow down. A brick home in the area had minor roof damage as well. The tornado peaked in intensity as it crossed Mississippi Highway 42, where a large metal shed had more than 80% of the roof blown off and numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. A more focused corridor of damage was noted here in the tree damage. The tornado dissipated after crossing Hosey Mikell Road. The estimated peak wind speed was 110 mph. A tornadic debris signature was observed on radar with this tornado, and storm chasers recorded footage of the tornado as it crossed Highway 42.

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.
