EF0 tornado in Scott County, Mississippi

The tornado began along Russell Community Road where it uprooted many softwood trees. It also caused minor roof damage and blew the skirting off of a mobile home, as well as blew the tin off of a chicken house. It then continued to the north-northeast and uprooted more trees along Jane Road before it dissipated. The maximum estimated wind speed was 80 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.
