Survey Summary:
This tornado started at Ellis Avenue and Raymond Road and tracked
ENE across Battlefield Park and South Jackson. Minor tree damage
was noted in the initial part of the track. The tornado increased
in intensity as it crossed Interstate 20 and moved into the
Battlefield Park and surrounding neighborhood. Multiple trees
were uprooted along this part of the path along with a dozen or
so homes having minor to moderate roof damage. Some trees were on
homes, and power lines were down as well. Roof damage occurred to
a few buildings along Gallatin Street. The tornado began to
weaken after that and dissipated right at the Pearl River along
Commerce Street.
