What the National Weather Service wrote

Gradient wind brought down numerous trees across the county. Some were uprooted and blocked the roadway from Conehatta to Lake along Highway 489. A large tree fell onto a house in Union.

The wider storm

The remnants of Tropical Storm Olga moved across Central Mississippi during the morning of October 26. Some of the stronger thunderstorms near the center of circulation produced wind damage across portions of the area. Locations farther removed from the center of circulation also received wind damage, but this was due more to the tightening pressure gradient and resultant increase in wind speed.
