| 1 MILE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF Pearl River | |||||
| Tornado The beginning of a long-lived EF1 tornado with max wind speeds of 100mph that tracked for 19.3 miles developed near Pearl River, LA near the intersection of US Highway 11 and LA Highway 41 where numerous tree branches were snapped and tossed east. A combination of high resolution satellite and radar imagery analysis indicated that this tornado quickly grew in size and intensity after it crossed Interstate 59. Widespread tree damage could be seen on true color satellite imagery growing to a damage path as wide as 500 yards over the Pearl River Basin. Extensive wind damage could be seen extending outward half a mile south of the tornado path as the tornado approached the Louisiana- Mississippi border. The damage path briefly became more obscure and broad as the tornado to its south occluded into Stennis. Extensive tree damage occurred. While ground surveying was limited in and around Stennis Space Center, high resolution satellite imagery identified a swath of damage continued northeastward through Texas Flat Road. Numerous snapped softwood trees and a leaning transmission pole were observed. The damage path gradually became less obvious as the tornado occluded northeast and the end points are associated with tree damage observed west of Kiln along Kiln Picayune Road. |
