EF0 tornado in Carroll County, Mississippi

The tornado began near Hudson Creek in southern Carroll County. As it tracked north northeast toward Beatty, it uprooted trees and downed some powerlines along County Road 33. As it crossed County Road 27, it continued to uproot some softwood trees and tore a few shingles off of a home. The tornado dissipated along Highway 51 north of Beatty. The maximum estimated wind speed with this tornado 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.
