| Episode Narrative | Strong low pressure moved from the Texas Panhandle early on the 19th to Georgia on the 20th. A strong cold front combined with a very moist and unstable atmosphere to produce severe weather across south Mississippi, southeast Louisiana and the adjacent coastal waters during the daylight hours on the 19th into the early morning hours of the 20th. |
| Event Narrative | Tornado began crossing Interstate 59 with one snapped softwood pine observed in the median of the interstate. The tornado continued southeast and likely continued to strengthen before crossing McNeil Steephollow Road. At that location, there were several snapped hardwood and softwood trees, a few uprooted, but no structural damage to homes. More damage was noted just to the south at the end of Elmer Lee Road, where a chicken coop was damaged along with more softwood tree damage. The tornado continued southeast toward Bouie Road. A softwood pine was observed completely stripped of branches with the top twisted off, giving the tornado it's likely peak maximum strength of 105 mph. A few other softwoods were snapped and uprooted in the vicinity. Minor structural damage was observed nearby to a home with a portion of the roof either damaged or missing. The survey continued southeast to Anner Road, but it appeared the storm lifted between Anner and Bouie Road. |
