EF1 tornado in Noxubee County, Mississippi

This tornado began along Baldwyn Road, where the tin roof of a church was partially removed and a large tree was uprooted. It continued northward paralleling Mickers Clay Road, partially flipping an irrigation pivot in a field west of the road. The tornado continued to cause roof damage to multiple homes and tree damage. It lifted before reaching Missippi Highway 388. Maximum estimated winds were 90 mph. Total path length is 2.03 miles.

During the daytime hours of April 18th, a developing storm system helped generate a large line of thunderstorms which then moved across the region. From this, a regional outbreak of tornadoes along with widespread wind damage occurred. This line became efficient at producing tornadoes as a meso-scale vortex developed. The combination of multiple environmental features, set the stage for 43 tornadoes to occur over the forecast area. This ranks as 4th most for a single event across the forecast area. In addition to the tornadoes, widespread wind damage occurred as well.
