EF3 tornado in Calhoun County, Mississippi

A strong tornado moved northeast out of Webster County into extreme Southeastern Calhoun County. At least one home sustained major damage and one barn was destroyed. Numerous trees were knocked down. The tornado continued to move northeast and crossed into Chickasaw County.

A stationary front remained draped across Southern Missouri into Western Kentucky from April 24th, 2011 into April 25th, 2011. A very warm and unstable atmosphere was in place across the Mid-South ahead of the front. A low pressure system developed along the front and interacted with the unstable environment which helped produce several rounds of severe storms into the evening of April 26th, 2011. As a result of the severe storms, the front sank south during the early morning hours of April 27th, 2011 as a secondary low pressure system developed along the front. As a result, another round of severe storms fired during the afternoon hours ahead of the low pressure center. Additional severe storms fired along the trailing cold front. Tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding occurred as a result of the severe storms.
