This EF2 tornado began along Hill Road near the intersection with Goat Hill Road and continued eastward across Anderson Road producing tree damage. The tornado roughly paralleled MS Highway 22 from near Good Hope Road to near Murrays Road.

Roofing sections were removed or roofing material was damaged on several homes and a church along Highway 22. The greatest damage occurred along Bradley Road, where the entire roof of a home was removed and a high concentration of trees were snapped.
