What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
A swath of 70 to 80 mph winds occurred from an intense thunderstorm which moved south across central Noxubee County from near Brooksville to Macon. Numerous trees along with several power lines and power poles were blown down along the path and around Macon. Several homes and businesses suffered roof damage and a few business sings were blown down as well. One home sustained roof damage from a fallen tree along Piney Woods Road.
Just south of the brief tornado, the rear flank downdraft from the parent supercell thunderstorm, caused a few trees to be blown down and one shed to get destroyed. The most substantial damaged occurred to a building that had the roof partially lifted which then caused a portion of one wall to collapse.
Straight line winds from a line of severe thunderstorms that moved through the Brooksville area damaged the awning of a gas station canopy, rolled a few small sheds, and caused a few utility poles along US Highway 45 to lean.
