What the National Weather Service wrote
A brief and narrow EF-1 tornado touched down just west
of Passeau Road and moved east across Rocky Creek Road. The tornado
produced heavy damage to a mobile home at the intersection of Rocky
Creek Road and David Wade Road, removing the roof which then resulted in
the collapse of the walls on the back side of the structure. Several pine
trees were uprooted or snapped as well. The tornado then quickly lifted
east of this point.
The wider storm
A strong spring storm system moved across southern states. High values of wind shear and instability combined to generate numerous severe thunderstorms that produced tornadoes and wind damage across southeast Mississippi.
Began near Evanston (30.9381, -88.5195).
