2020-04-23 · near Evanston, George, Mississippi

Event narrative

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.

Wider weather episode

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.
