What the National Weather Service wrote

A small corridor of strong winds exited Wathall County into extreme southwest Lawrence County where it damaged a convenience store. The tin roof was peeled off and strewn across the property. The debris from the tin roof snapped a power pole as well. Several trees were also uprooted and snapped. This corridor ended southwest of Jayess.

The wider storm

A line of severe storms pushed across the region and produced damaging wind gusts that downed trees and power lines, and damaged several structures. Ahead of the storms, strong gradient winds also produced damage to a similar degree. One such incident resulted in a fatality in Vicksburg where a woman succumbed to an injury after she was struck by a large tree limb.
