EF1 tornado in Lowndes County, Mississippi

This tornado began along Trinity Rd, where a few trees where uprooted. It continued north northeastward to Carson Road, where a large empty grain bin was slid off of its base and bent inward. Across the road, the roof of a large metal building was partially removed. The tornado continued northward into an open field, lifting before reaching Lindsey Ferry Road. Maximum estimated winds were 110 mph. Total path length is 3.12 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.
