Episode Narrative A strong weather system interacted with an unstable airmass to bring widespread severe weather to the region. There was copious amounts of wind energy in the atmosphere ahead of the squall line to bring down trees and power lines from gradient winds. In addition, damaging winds and tornadoes occurred within the squall line as it moved through Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.
Event Narrative This weak tornado began on the east side of downtown Purvis near the intersection of US Highway 11 and MS Highway 589 where a portion of a gas station canopy was removed, minor tree damage occurred, and a sign was blown down. The tornado continued northeast downing trees and snapping large tree branches as it crossed US 11, Sherlock Herring Road, and Harold Tucker Road, E Hill Road, and White Chapel Road. On E Hill Road, a portion of a metal roof was blown off. The tornado lifted as it reached Interstate 59 in western Forrest County where additional minor tree damage was noted. The maximum estimated wind speed of this tornado was 85 mph. Total path length was 7.3 miles.
