Thunderstorm Wind in Winston County, Mississippi

The squall line which caused the damage across eastern Attala County intensified and tracked across a large portion of central Winston County. A very intense "bow echo" formed in the line and caused a swath of extensive damage from around the Four Corners Community to Louisville and then to points northeast around Betheden.The "bow echo" began near the Four Corners Community and several large signs were blown down or snapped off and a large commercial building had its roof blown off. Many trees and power lines were blown down around this area and across the western portion of the county. As the "bow echo" approached Louisville two homes sustained roof damage and more trees were blown down. Areas in and around Louisville were particularly hard hit. Nearly a dozen homes and businesses sustained significant roof damage with the funeral home having the roof totally removed. Nearly six other homes sustained minor roof damage. Dozens of trees, along with several power lines, were blown down around town. The storm continued to the northeast and downed more trees and power lines before it moved into southern Oktibbeha County.
