A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Kiln, 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 100 mph. High resolution satellite imagery aided in identifying yet another embedded tornado that trailed the parent mesovortex that tracked through the area. More localized tree damage in addition to an evident damage path on NDVI differencing helped to confirm the existence of this tornado which tracked from Firetower Road east-southeastward to Old Joe Moran Road. The end point is estimated per satellite imagery which occurred over inaccessible rural lands. |
