Info
Near the Mississippi–Alabama state line, two mobile homes were destroyed. Numerous trees were also downed, some of which landed on homes and outbuildings. In Alabama, several homes were damaged. One home was shifted off of its foundation, trapping ten people in the basement, five of whom suffered minor injuries. Several mobile homes were completely destroyed and one small concrete building had its roof torn off and one wall destroyed. Several roofs were damaged and trees uprooted near the end of the path.
