EF0 Tornado — George, Mississippi

2020-06-24 · near Lucedale Farmco Arpt, George, Mississippi

Event narrative

A tornado touched down just east of CCC Road and traveled

just less than one mile to the northeast ending at the intersection of Hilltop

Drive and Marshall Smith Road. A few tree tops were damaged in a pasture with

a strand of trees uprooted along a fence line. There was minor damage to a

metal roof of a house along with metal roofing torn from a shed. The approximate

maximum path width was 50 yards.

Wider weather episode

A Mesoscale Convective Vortex moved across the area during the morning and early afternoon. Enhanced vertical wind shear with this system combined with a moist and unstable atmosphere led to the development of thunderstorms with embedded mesocyclones, some of which produced tornadoes.
