EF1 tornado in Hinds County, Mississippi

An EF-1 tornado touched down near Bush Bottom Road. The tornado initially did scattered damage to tree branches in open farmland, but it quickly strengthened to its maximum intensity with estimated 100 mph winds and destroyed two outbuildings near Bush Bottom Road. The tornado continued generally east across the Natchez Trace and Bill Downing Road. Damage in these areas was mostly to trees and vegetation, but some minor roof damage occurred to homes in the area. Falling trees contributed to additional damage including downed power lines and fencing. A few homes were more heavily damaged due to trees falling onto them. The tornado continued east and caused additional tree and roof damage as it crossed Dupree Rd., Stewart Dr., Carolyn Dr., and Old Port Gibson Rd. before it dissipated at MS Highway 18.

A line of severe thunderstorms produced significant wind damage, heavy rain, hail, and a tornado as it crossed from Northeast Louisiana into Mississippi during the evening of April 9th. Subsequent heavy rain and storms continued into the daytime of April 10th.
