April 4th Severe Weather
|
| A potent early April storm slammed the area
with widespread wind damage and at least 5 tornadoes. Several
extensive swaths of significant wind damage occurred, where
winds were estimated at 80 mph or greater. The main axis of
severe weather and damage occurred within the I-20 corridor
from northeast Louisiana to the Jackson Metro to east-central
Mississippi around Meridian. Overall, several thousand trees
were snapped and uprooted with several dozen homes damaged
by downed trees. The focus of the significant wind damage
is across Vicksburg, Bolton, Jackson, the Reservoir area of
Rankin County, the Hillsboro area in Scott County, northern
Newton County and the northern half of Lauderdale County.
Some damage surveys have already occurred across Warren,
Hinds and Rankin Counties. Additional surveys will take
place over the next several days and this page will be updated
as new information arrives.
