EF1 tornado in Hinds County, Mississippi

A dozen homes were damaged, some by fallen trees and other by the wind associated with the tornado. Numerous trees and several power lines were blown down as well along the path. Maximum winds were around 110 mph.

A strong storm system and cold front evolved over the region and brought first a steady area of light to moderate rain to the western half of the forecast area. As the rain shield dissipated during mid afternoon, enough instability developed and combined with increasing wind shear. These ingredients set the stage for a round of severe weather. Seven tornadoes occurred across portions of central Mississippi along with a few scattered reports of wind damage. All tornadoes were of the EF-1 variety.
