Tropical Storm Gordon made landfall during the evening of September 4th near the Alabama and Mississippi coast border. It continued to track to the northwest inland across much of central Mississippi on the 5th. As it did, wind gusts associated with the rain bands of Gordon brought down trees across the area. One tornado also occurred in Montgomery County. As the center of Gordon pushed off to the north and east, a band of heavy rain fell across portions of Grenada, and Carroll counties. This produced significant flash flooding, including the need for water rescues.
