EF1 tornado in Scott County, Mississippi

A tornado developed along a line of severe thunderstorms, where it moved northeast across northwest Scott County, and caused numerous broken snapped pine tree limbs. This debris was initially noted along Gordon Road, or west of Highway 13. However, as it began to track east-northeast, tornadic signatures became more prevalent with both softwood and hardwood tree trunks being snapped along Clifton Hillsboro Road, east of Highway 13. Thereafter, it commenced to track northeast and cross Hattie Lyles Road, where additional snapped hardwood trees were noted. As it reached Hillsboro Ludlow Road, well, west of Highway 35, it weakened considerably as it snapped only a few softwood tree limbs. Maximum estimated winds were 95 mph.

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.
