| Episode Narrative | A strong low pressure system tracked from Northern Arkansas into Southern Missouri during the evening hours of February 5th, 2008. Supercells developed out ahead of the system during the late afternoon into the early evening. The storms produced tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds. As the supercells moved east during the evening, a cold front moved into North Mississippi. A squall line developed along the front and produced another round of large hail and damaging winds. The front continued to push east into the overnight hours. |
| Event Narrative | A weak tornado briefly touched down in the Lake Chautauqua area of western Tippah County. Two homes and two vehicles were damaged. Numerous trees were knocked down in the area. |
