A few power lines were blown down.
An intense downburst occurred across southern Lincoln county, early Tuesday morning, which brought winds near 95 mph to areas from Bogue Chitto to Ruth. These destructive winds uprooted and downed several hundred trees and took down many power lines. Many of these trees fell across roads and onto homes. A few dozen roads were blocked for most of the day including a portion of US Highway 51 in Bogue Chitto. A few dozen homes sustained minor to major damage. The structural damage ranged from trees on homes, shingles peeled off some roofs, and partial to the entire roof blown off a few homes.
This tornado downed numerous trees and power lines across Pleasant Hill Road, Shady Grove Road and Willow Road as it tracked northeast for 2 miles. One mobile home was overturned and destroyed. Two other homes sustained damage at the corner of Fox and Windmill Roads.
