What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm wind gust downed a tree near the corner of Johns Bayou and Page roads.

The wider storm

A fairly typical summertime upper level pattern was in place with strong high pressure centered well west of the local area. That put southern Mississippi on the eastern periphery of this ridge in a region of northwestern upper level flow. That setup is often conducive for strong to severe thunderstorm development and what took place on August 14th as a severe storm tracked across Jackson County.

Began near Vancleave (30.5000, -88.6500).
