A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Stennis Space Center, 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.

High resolution satellite imagery indicated the damage path continued eastward where it crossed Texas Flat Road.
