A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Rural Hancock County, MS. It has been determined the damage was the result of a tornado. The tornado has been rated an EF-U on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. No damage estimate was made due to lack of road access, and no wind speed determination can be made. A short-tracked tornado was identified using high resolution satellite imagery NDVI differencing. This tornado tracked over inaccessible rural lands north of Texas Flat Road along Catahoula Creek and Jourdan River before eventually dissipating as it interacted with the parent mesovortex to its east. No damage could be identified and thus the rating for this tornado is unknown. |
