An NWS damage survey crew confirmed that on 03/30/2022 thunderstorms produced an EF-1 tornado from Pope, MS to just south of Sardis Lake, MS. This tornado started just west of Interstate 55 in Pope, MS, causing widespread tree damage and even uprooting a large tree onto a home. Several utility poles were snapped with loose power lines hanging down over roads. As the tornado moved northeast, it likely peaked in intensity as it damaged several homes off of De Bowen Wilson Rd and crossed over Hwy 6. Multiple large trees were snapped at the trunks and several others were twisted and/or uprooted. A mobile home off Highway 6 was severely damaged and caused one injury. Peak winds were estimated at 107 mph. ||After the tornado crossed Highway 6, it moved towards Sardis Lake. Numerous large tree branches and utility poles were snapped, as well as several trees uprooted. The easternmost part of the damage found by the survey crew appeared to be on Sardis Lake Drive, where fallen trees caused significant roof and siding damage to a few houses. The tornado likely lifted just west of the Panola/Lafayette County line.
