EF0 tornado in Harrison County, Mississippi

A tornado touched down just north of the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. A half dozen houses along Pinewood Dr and Arbor Dr sustained minor roof damage. An air conditioner was blown off its pad and several trees and large branches were snapped. The tornado tracked north across Pass Rd where a portion of the roof was torn off a restaurant and bank, and several trees were downed in an adjoining parking lot. The tornado then tracked to the north-northwest, eventually crossing Popps Ferry Rd toward Carter Rd, Martin Rd, and Old Bay Rd. Numerous houses with shingle damage, downed fences and a few downed trees were noted in the tornado's path. The tornado tracked along Carmargue Ln and either dissipated shortly thereafter or continued as waterspout in Big Lake. Survey conducted remotely via high-res aerial photography. Estimated peak winds of 80 mph.

The ninth named storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Ida originated from a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea on August 23rd. On August 26th, the wave developed into a tropical depression, which organized further and became Tropical Storm Ida later that day, near Grand Cayman. On a northwestward track, Ida intensified into a hurricane on August 27, just before moving over western Cuba. A day later, the hurricane underwent rapid intensification over the Gulf of Mexico as it passed over a warm core eddy and reached major hurricane strength. It was just under 72 hours from tropical depression formation to category 4 strength with 150 mph winds. Ida remained at its peak intensity of 150 mph winds and a minimum central pressure of 929 millibars as it made landfall near Port Fourchon midday on August 29th. It didn't weaken to a tropical storm until it reached near the Louisiana/Mississippi border.

Ida produced over a dozen tornadoes and light to moderate wind damage across southwestern and coastal Mississippi. Around 100,000 residents were without power. Around 100 homes were damaged, 6 destroyed. Storm surge inundation ranged from a few feet in Jackson County to 7 feet in Harrison County. Hurricane Ida caused approximately $10 million worth of damage.
