EF0 tornado in Franklin County, Mississippi

The tornado formed in a field just west of the intersection of Horse Creek Road and Bogue Chitto Rd SE and traveled northwest about a quarter of mile uprooting a tree. Another quarter of a mile northwest, a larger tree was uprooted and blocked the road. The tornado dissipated near a home where a small tree was snapped in the yard and tree tops were snapped behind the home as it lifted. The maximum estimated winds were 76mph.

Hurricane Delta made landfall along the southwest Louisiana Gulf Coast around 5:00 p.m. CDT on October 9th and moved to the northeast across southwest and central Mississippi. Heavy rainfall saturated and loosened soils, allowing for many trees to be blown down even as the hurricane weakened into a tropical storm and then tropical depression. Some of the trees fell onto and damaged homes and power lines in the region. Strong winds continued into the morning of October 10th, and isolated damaging wind gusts occurred with the outer rain bands as far east as Jasper County. The greatest rainfall totals of around 5 to 7 inches were measured near the center of the storm's track in southwest Mississippi, with totals of 1 to 3 inches measured farther away from the storm's track. A brief EF-0 tornado developed from an outer rain band in Lincoln County on October 9th.
