What the National Weather Service wrote
This tornado began west of Mississippi Highway 7 near Fishco Road, where it overturned an irrigation pivot. As it continued northeast across Smith Rd., it lofted and destroyed an outbuilding and pulled the concrete footing of an outbuilding out of the ground and threw it. Farther northeast, an outbuilding was damaged along Jake Town Rd., and some trees were uprooted. The tornado downed another tree and additional tree branches as it lifted near Four Mile Lake Rd. Maximum estimated winds were 110 mph.
The wider storm
Severe thunderstorms moved across Mississippi during the evening and overnight hours of the 13th into the 14th, with flash flooding across areas of the Delta and several tornadoes. Severe storm coverage diminished during the night, but storms became severe again during the afternoon of the 14th as a cold front interacted with a warm and unstable air mass in the region. Tornadoes on the 14th were generally along and south of the Interstate 20 corridor with severe storms continuing into the evening.
Began near Castleman (33.2400, -90.5000).
