Along the path, trees were uprooted and there was minor damage to an outbuilding as well as to the roof and front exterior of a house. Maximum estimated winds were 80 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 Fearns Spgs (33.0499, -88.8877).
