| Episode Narrative | During the late afternoon of April 13 and into the evening and overnight, a strong spring storm system pushed across the Lower Mississippi Valley region and brought widespread severe weather, a regional tornado outbreak, and flash flooding. This event started over eastern Texas and steadily pushed eastward into the evening and overnight. Storms associated with this system started as a few line clusters then evolved into a full blown linear complex. Within this line, smaller bowing segments formed and it was these features that supported the regional outbreak of tornadoes. A total of 20 tornadoes occurred across our forecast area, six of which were rated as strong (EF2). In addition to the tornadoes, several reports of large hail were received along with many instances of wind damage. Heavy rainfall was also impactful and multiple inches of rain quickly fell across some locations and caused flash flooding, some of it extensive. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado began at the intersection of Bowmar Avenue and Jeanette Street, where it impacted a brick home resulting in taking the roof completely off and thus caving in the front of the house. The tornado continued to track east-northeast towards Halls Ferry Road where several large hardwood trees were snapped. As it progressed northeast along Rosedown Street, a small business building had minor roof damage. Additional large hardwood branches were snapped at Marcus Street. An uprooted tree fell on a home and caused extensive damage to the home at Ken Karyl Avenue. The tornado shifted a bit to the northeast causing several large hardwood trees to become snapped and uprooted within Vicksburg National Military Park. Once it reached the I-20 Frontage Road north of Highway 61 near Clifton Drive, it lifted but not before snapping a few hardwood trees. Maximum estimated winds were 115 mph. |
