EF1 tornado in Webster County, Mississippi

This tornado began south of King Road near the Montgomery and Webster county line. Here, it was its most intense and caused significant tree damage by uprooting many hardwood trees along both King and Dubard roads. It then tracked northeast and turned slightly more north. It continued to cause mostly tree damage along its path. The tornado ended just as it crossed Highway 404. The maximum estimated wind speed for 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.
