What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Straight line winds shifted a home off its foundation south of Dublin near the Sunflower County line. One child was injured as a result. One agricultural shop and a couple of grain bins sustained major damage. Farm equipment inside the shop was damaged as a well.
Straight line winds produced a damage path that continued from Phillips County, Arkansas into Coahoma County. The path began in Coahoma County near Friars Point, where a grain bin was destroyed and moved 100 yards. A tractor and planter were also damaged. The front of the Mt. Airy Baptist Church was torn off and there was structural damage to the Henry Martin Garden Estate Apartments. In addition, a house was picked up and moved seven feet from its foundation. The path continued into Coahoma where the damage ended. In Coahoma a few homes and a church had roof and structural damage. Numerous trees and 80 to 90 power poles were snapped or knocked down from Friars Point to Coahoma.
Three empty grain bins were damaged along New Africa Road. The walkway on top of the grain bins was blown down. One grain bin was moved back a foot or two off of its foundation. Each grain bin had dents near the top on the southwest side where the strongest winds hit. Power lines were also blown down in the same area.
