What the National Weather Service wrote
This brief and weak tornado began just north of Interstate Twenty on Clover Hill Circle where the metal roof was blown off an outbuilding. The tornado continued northeast to South Farr Road but no evidence of tornadic damage was found after this point. Aside from the mentioned structural damage most of the damage was limited to trees mainly in the form of downed large limbs. Maximum estimated winds were 74 mph.
The wider storm
A potent storm system for early Fall impacted the region and a line of showers and thunderstorms moved through the ArkLaMiss region ahead of a cold front. A rare combination of instability and wind shear was in place and storms produced tornadoes, along with damaging winds.
Began near Champion Hill (32.3645, -90.5309).
