A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Harrison County, MS. It has been determined the damage was the result of a tornado. The tornado has been rated an EF-0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Damage estimates were consistent with winds of 85 mph. As the mesovortex tracked east into Harrison County, another tornado developed on the trailing flank of it and tracked east- southeast over primarily inaccessible rural land near the Wolf River. High resolution satellite imagery NDVI differencing identified a scalloped path that starts near F Malley Road in Dedeaux, MS and continues east-southeast where a ground survey identified snapped trees as well as a mobile home that had slid off its blocks. The tornado crossed River Road with minimal damage evident although the track remained visible on NDVI differencing as it crossed the Wolf River. The apparent track of the tornado continues east across Wolf River Road and appears to conclude just short of Alcede Lizana Road. |
