A power line was down here as well. The tornado then crossed Learned Road, just south of Learned, and damaged dozens of trees. The tornado continued northeast and crossed Holiday Road where tree damage was noted. The tornado tracked over some pasture and farm land and dissipated as it crossed Oakley Road. The maximum wind speed with this tornado was 110 mph.

During the early morning hours of April 30th, a squall line of severe thunderstorms developed across central Louisiana and pushed eastward across the ArkLaMiss. The line intensified as it approached the Mississippi River and caused wind damage and tornadoes. As the convective system evolved into Mississippi, numerous tornadoes developed along the advancing line, with the most prolific damage occurring along the track of a large meso-scale convective vortex (MCV). This feature tracked roughly from Claiborne County through western Hinds/Madison, eastern Yazoo, eastern Holmes, southeastern Carroll, Montgomery, and northwestern Webster counties. This corridor is where the most significant damage occurred, as well as one fatality. Flash flooding, hail, and other wind damage occurred as these storms moved through.
