| Episode Narrative | A strong storm system brought produced numerous thunderstorms across southeast Mississippi. Damaging winds and tornadoes were observed along with very heavy rain. |
| Event Narrative | The storm survey team found a third tornado touchdown in a heavily wooded area near the Greene/Wayne county line. Numerous large diameter (greater than 2 feet) hardwood and pine trees were either snapped near the base of the trunk or uprooted. Significant damage occurred to a log cabin built in 1909 just inside the Wayne County line...with window panes blown out and large portions of the roof destroyed. A detached outbuilding...built roughly at the same time...was destroyed by a large tree falling on its north side. The tornado continued affecting mostly wooded areas before lifting just to the northeast of Woulard Bend River Road. |
