Rose Hill Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

April 13, 2022 - Tornado

A tornado started in Jasper County just east of Mississippi Highway 15 near County Road 1561 where it caused mainly tree damage. The tornado moved east along County Road 2414, uprooted a swath of pine trees, uprooted several hardwoods, and snapped numerous large pine tree limbs. Metal roofing panels were peeled off a barn. More trees were uprooted or damaged as the tornado moved across Mississippi Highway 503 and County Road 31. Near CR31, there was widespread tree damage, a shed was destroyed, and a home had some shingles removed. The crossbar on a power pole was broken, and several power lines in this area were blown down. The tornado continued east across Country Road 24 and into Clarke County near MS Highway 513, where it continued to uproot and damage numerous softwood and hardwood trees. It crossed over Interstate 49 and passed on the northwest side of Enterprise where it continued to snap large tree limbs and uproot trees. Near County Road 360 and I-59, a tree fell on a mobile home. The tornado intensified as it continued northeastward toward and through the Clarkdale area. Just east of County Road 357, between County Roads 350 and 379, it uprooted and snapped a swath of hardwood and softwood trees. Several homes lost portions of their roofs in a subdivision near County Roads 351 and 350. About a half mile east along CR 350, a home sustained roof damage with portions of the roof decking removed, there was substantial tree damage, and about five power poles were snapped. At this point, the tornado was nearly 1 mile wide and was at its most intense with damage receiving an EF-2 rating. Damage occurred at Clarkdale Attendance Center on the county line where a large portion of the roofing was removed. School facilities including a baseball field and batting cages were also heavily damaged. Several power poles were snapped and power lines blown down along MS Highway 145. The tornado then continued into southern Lauderdale County. There was widespread tree damage in town, where large branches fell on several homes. Part of the sign was blown off of a gas station, and there was minor damage to metal siding on a nearby business. After passing through Clarkdale, the tornado weakened to an EF-1 intensity and continued to cause damage primarily to timber across southeastern Lauderdale county. Several homes had trees blown down onto them. The tornado crossed MS Highway 19 in the Whynot community before it weakened and dissipated northeast of there near the Alabama state line. The total path length across the three counties was 43.66 miles. The estimated peak wind gust was 120 mph.

April 12, 2020 - Tornado

This strong tornado traveled over 84 miles through parts of six counties including southern Lawrence, central Jefferson Davis, northern Covington, far northwestern Jones, far southeastern Smith, and Jasper counties. Some of the communities impacted include Oak Vale, the area north of Carson, the north side of Collins, Hot Coffee, Summerland, Stringer, and the west side of Paulding. This tornado is preliminarily rated EF3 with an estimated peak wind of 150 MPH near MS Highway 35 northeast of Carson in Jefferson Davis County. The maximum path width was 1.16 miles also near MS Highway 35 in Jefferson Davis County. No fatalities were reported in this tornado, but there was an undetermined number of injuries. Additional details on the damage path and area of most significant damage follow.|| ||The tornado initially touched down in southeastern Lawrence County 11 miles south of the city of Monticello, causing minor tree damage. The tornado quickly strengthened as it took a northeast track, producing EF1 and EF2 tree damage along Givens Road and Divide Road. From an elevated location on Divide Road, surveyors were able to view extensive tree damage and ground scouring in the inaccessible Pearl River bottom in Lawrence County. This damage was also confirmed by satellite imagery. The tornado destroyed the roof of a home and completely destroyed a metal building structure on Rayborn Lane. The homeowner also stated that a well built log cabin that he owned along the Pearl River was completely destroyed. After crossing the Pearl River, the tornado proceeded to impact areas just east of the river, causing more significant tree damage along River Road and Coon Hunting Road. The tornado completely destroyed several chicken houses and significantly damaged two homes near MS Highway 43 before crossing into Jefferson Davis County. Once in Jefferson Davis County, the tornado snapped and uprooted numerous trees along Johnson Road, Palestine Road, and Lily Rose Road. The tornado crossed MS Highway 13 snapping a couple of wooden power poles and causing damage to large sections of the roof of a one- story home. Two mobile homes were destroyed along Greens Creek Road, with additional roof damage to homes as well as snapping and uprooting trees as the tornado progressed northeastward. A mobile home was destroyed along Newman Camp Road.|| ||The intensity of the tornado briefly increased to low end EF3 damage as it moved across Kirkley Lane, where extensive tree damage was noted. Damage to roofs, and the snapping and uprooting of trees continued as the tornado moved northeast. Large sections of a roof were removed from a one-story home on Haynes Gray Road, most walls of an apparently abandoned home were collapsed on SJ Garner Road, and the roof of a well built home was removed along Ross McPhail Road. Along Berry Loop, a mobile home was demolished and several other homes were heavily damaged.|| ||As the tornado neared MS Highway 35 and the Terrell community, it grew wider and stronger. Extensive tree damage and varying degrees of damage occurred to dozens of structures. In this area, multiple mobile homes were completely destroyed on both sides of the highway. A large church made of cinderblocks was leveled here and supportive of EF3 wind speeds near 150 mph. Multiple power lines were downed as well. The tornado reached its widest point in this location at 1.16 miles. EF3 tree damage continued as it crossed East Granby Road near the river as well as a small section when it crossed Three Notch Road. Several mobile homes were destroyed here as well. The tornado weakened a bit after this point, but remained strong as it crossed US 84 and neared US 49. A wide swath of extensive tree damage and downed power lines occurred along the path. A set of chicken houses west of Campbell Faler Road was destroyed, and a mobile home was rolled. As the tornado crossed Old Macintosh and Sunset Roads, more trees were downed along with some damage to structures. After crossing US 49, this strong tornado continued northeast where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted and a mobile home was destroyed on Hambone Road.|| ||The tornado continued across northeastern Covington County, crossing MS Highway 532 west of Hot Coffee, causing widespread tree damage and minor roof damage to some residential areas before crossing out of the county. The tornado then moved into northwest Jones and southern Smith County and crossed through the community of Summerland. Widespread tree damage continued through here, with some minor roof damage to residences, which was consistent with high end EF1 damage. A church along Smith County Road 8A had a steeple removed by the winds. The tornado then moved into southwestern Jasper County into the Stringer community. High end EF1 damage occurred in the area, with numerous trees snapped and uprooted in addition to a snapped power pole east of the community. Even though the circulation began to weaken, the tornado continued northeast and produced high end EF1 damage throughout central Jasper County before moving across the western side of Paulding. The tornado weakened in this area, still producing widespread EF0-EF1 tree damage as it crossed MS Highway 503 north of Paulding. The tornado lifted shortly thereafter along County Road 31. The maximum wind speed was 150mph in Jefferson Davis County, but was 110mph in Jasper County. The total path length was 83.22 miles.
