SURVEY SUMMARY:

A brief tornado developed just south of Womack Lane to the west of

Denmark-Jackson Road. Damage was observed to two homes on Womack

Lane, one with significant roof damage. Numerous trees were uprooted

or snapped as this tornado moved northeast across rural, wooded

land. Additional damage was observed at the Pacific Manufacturing

facility on Smith Lane where the east-facing wall of a large metal

building was peeled off of the frame. Several large rolling doors

were blown in at this facility. There were also several metal power

poles that were severely bent along Smith Lane. Additional damage

was observed farther to the northeast across the southern portion of

Jackson, but this is currently believed to be due to straight-line

winds. This includes several businesses damaged along Airways

Boulevard just to the east of the South Fork of the Forked Deer

River and the numerous trees down across the city.
