| 01:04Z | EF1 | KDGX | MS | Attala | Kosciusko | A brief EF1 tornado occurred during the evening of April 9th in Kosciusko. The tornado began at the intersection of MS Highway 12 and North Jackson St where an awning and portion of a sign was blown off the CVS Pharmacy. The tornado quickly reached peak intensity as it moved southeast where several trees were uprooted along Knox Rd, including one that fell onto an apartment building. The tornado continued southeast crossing Lucas St and Fairground St where the most concentrated path of damage occurred. Here, multiple trees were uprooted along with several pine trees that were snapped. Several homes also sustained roof damage due to falling trees and branches, and one home on Lucas St had a portion of its roof and interior ceiling blown in after a gable failed. The tornado began to weaken as it crossed East Adams St and East Jefferson St where mainly large tree branches were snapped. Two trees were also uprooted in this area. The tornado quickly dissipated after crossing East Jefferson St and was on the ground for approximately one minute. Estimated peak wind was 95 mph. |
| 01:28Z | EF0 | KDGX | MS | Rankin | Shiloh | This tornado began just to the south of Gulde Shiloh Road where several large tree limbs were snapped. The tornado continued north crossing I-20 where it was documented via pictures and video by several storm chasers. The tornado continued to snap large tree branches while crossing US Highway 80 at the Pelahatchie Industrial Park. Additional large limbs were snapped along Lake Road with the tornado crossing County Lake and snapping more tree limbs in a neighborhood along the west shore of the lake. The tornado continued north through a wooded area before paralleling Highway 43. Large limbs were snapped along the highway with two trees uprooted in adjacent fields. The tornado quickly dissipated in a wooded area to the south of Rehobeth Road. Damage was intermittent at times, and it's possible that the tornado may have lifted several times along the primary damage path. Estimated peak winds were 75 mph. |
| 04:31Z | EF1 | KSHV | AR | Little River | Richmond | A brief EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 90 mph touched down near Little River 21 and the intersection of Little River 15 and Little River 713, where an area of concentrated convergent tree damage occurred in the midst of much wider straight line wind damage throughout the southern portion of Little River County. Damage to structures in the tornado path was very minimal. It is possible that the tornado path extends farther than what the storm survey indicated, but the actual survey length was limited by road access. |
| 04:37Z | EF1 | KDGX | MS | Lincoln | Vaughn | An EF1 tornado developed in the evening of April 9th near Zetus Road and Russell Lane. The tornado produced primarily tree damage before traveling southeast across Palmetto Trail and then crossing near Watts Lane and Norman Trail. The tornado became most intense in this area where a shed was damaged by falling trees on Norman Trail while on Watts Lane a large stand of young pines fell, as well as some power poles and lines. The tornado continued southeast where more tree damage was documented as well as roofing damage to some structures. It was in this area that the path was most clearly defined with stands of trees significantly damaged in a clear trajectory to the southeast. The tornado crossed Hwy 84 near Breckenridge Lane where out buildings were heavily damaged or destroyed. The tornado then began to weaken but continued to produce intermittent tree damage south of the highway before dissipating north of Auburn Drive. Estimated peak winds were 95 mph. |
| 05:31Z | EF1 | KLIX | MS | Marion | Morgantown | This EF1 tornado started in western Marion County, near Bracey Road, and tracked southeast for just over 7 miles. The tornadic circulation was embedded in a swath of wind that tracked in a similar manner, but was much wider and had sporadic tree damage. Shortly after the tornadic circulation organized, it peaked in intensity and produced a focused corridor of solid tree damage. This was near the intersection of Circle Bar Road and Ratliff Road. From here, the tornado weakened a bit but continued to produce a more focused corridor of mostly tree damage. A few homes had trees on them with several sheds and carports having the roof taken off. The tornado basically stayed just on the north side of Highway 586. The tornado dissipated before crossing Highway 586 on the west side of Foxworth and all that remained was straight line wind damage. Max winds were 105 mph. |
| 06:26Z | EF1 | KPOE | LA | St. Landry | Garland | A team doing research with NSSL found damage with this tornado. Most of the damage was tree damage west of HWY 71 and crossing HWY 71. It did destroy a barn before the damage path was lost near HWY 361. |
| 07:06Z | EF3 | KPOE | LA | St. Landry | Waxia | A strong tornado touched down on Bolden Road, destroying several homes. One single wide mobile home that was tied down rolled numerous times for over 320 yards. One man died in this home. A double wide mobile home next door rolled for over 100 yards. Two people were seriously injured. A third home on pilings slid over 50 yards, with 5 people inside, who received cuts and bruises.||In total, 15 homes were damaged or destroyed along the path of this tornado. In addition, numerous trees and power lines were snapped, and some barns and outbuildings were destroyed. Max estimated winds 140 mph. |
| 11:23Z | EF1 | KEVX | FL | Walton | Pond Creek | A tornado touched down in the vicinity of Crowder Chapel and Hinote Roads near the Shoal River. Several large trees were snapped or uprooted in this area. The tornado then moved east northeast snapping and uprooting several more trees along its path. One property on County Highway 1084 sustained roof damage to the primary residence, a well-built single family home. A large metal building system on the property had large garage doors blown in with subsequent uplift and removal of a substantial portion of the roof. A small garage was also destroyed. A bit further down the highway, another metal building system had a portion of its roof rolled back. The tornado lifted near County Highway 83 just south of Glendale. Damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado with maximum estimated winds around 95 mph. |
