1028 AM Tornado 3 NW Kiln 30.45N 89.46W
04/10/2024 Hancock MS NWS Storm Survey
An embedded EF1 tornado with max wind speeds
of 100mph that tracked for 3.72 miles
following along the backside of the
mesovortex was identified using high
resolution satellite imagery NDVI
differencing where more localized damage to
trees and structures were identified via
ground survey. This tornado tracked
primarily along MS Highway 43 with the most
widespread damage being located along the
curve in Cuevas Road where a swath of trees
appeared to be damaged on satellite imagery
in addition to observed damage with ground
survey. This is where the tornado appeared
to be at its strongest. Thereafter, the
damage path in NDVI differencing gradually
weakens and the tornado is estimated to have
dissipated as it crossed the Silver Creek
Acres neighborhood where tree damage was
found near Violet Street and Gardenia Street
in Kiln.
