12:44Z EF1 KDGX MS Rankin Luckney This tornado began near Jackson Preparatory School along Lakeland Drive and subsequently tracked east-northeast just north of Lakeland Drive on its roughly 6 mile path length through west-central and into central Rankin County. Most of the damage was limited to trees with the most significant tree damage involving snapped and uprooted hardwood trees, yielding a low end EF-1 designation. There was scattered minor structural damage, mainly to roofs, as large limbs and trees fell upon residences. A few businesses also sustained minor structural damage due directly to winds near the intersection of Grants Ferry Road and Lakeland Drive. Along a portion of the tornado`s path through Flowood and Millcreek subdivision, the track showed evidence of skipping and producing very limited damage. A driver on Lakeland Drive captured video of the tornado at the intersection with Vine Drive shortly before it lifted. Maximum estimated wind speed was 90 mph.

Maximum wind was estimated at 85 mph, path length 1.5 miles, path width 50 yards.
13:20Z EF0 KLIX LA St. Helena Liverpool A storm survey determined a very short lived EF-0 tornado touchdown on Culin Harrell Road. Two large oak trees were uprooted.

16:30Z EF0 KLIX MS Pearl River Carriere Public eyewitness accounts indicated a tornado touched down near a convenience store on U.S. Highway 11 near Carriere, where it removed a piece of the awning and struck a vehicle. The tornado moved across the highway and downed several large oak branches in a retail store parking lot. It then lifted and flung the deck awning of a branch bank building northeastward into nearby residence yards and suspended some of the metal in treetops, which also had limbs and branches broken. The tornado lifted while crossing the railroad tracks. Some debris was deposited in the fringes of the Stonebridge subdivision. Maximum winds were estimated at 75 mph, with the path width 25 yards.
19:09Z EF0 KLIX MS Harrison Long Beach A combination of YouTube storm chaser video and a NWS storm survey indicated a multiple vortex waterspout moved through Long Beach Harbor, removing the roof off of an outbuilding and toppling two tall masted sailboats. The waterspout proceeded onshore onto the beach and crossed U.S. Highway 90 near Nicholson Street, lifting in the rear of St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church.

Peak winds estimated at 95 mph with a path width of 25 yards. Track may have been longer to the west, but that area was inaccessible due to water and wetlands. Event time was estimated by NWS Mobile radar imagery.
11:09Z EF0 KEVX FL Bay Allanton Damage photos from Bay County Emergency Management indicate that a brief tornado touched won on the eastern portions of Tyndall Air Force Base. The tornado crossed Highway 98 causing damage to pine trees and utility lines. The full length of the path is uncertain given the limited access to the area.
