A surface low pressure developed over central Louisiana in response to a negatively tilted mid-level trough over northeast Texas. A warm front developed in association with the surface low and surged northward through southern Mississippi in the early afternoon. This left coastal Mississippi in the warm sector of the cyclone where modest instability and sufficient wind shear was present to produce damaging winds and tornadoes.

Tornado in HARRISON, MISSISSIPPI
From 29-OCT-22 12:35:00 to 29-OCT-22 12:42:00 (CST-6)
Location: LIGANA
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 2.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

An EF0 (65 mph) tornado developed near Firetower Rd and moved north-northwest parallel to Vidalia Road. NDVI differencing helped to identify generally branch and foliage damage to trees along an inconsistent but cohesive path indicative of a weak tornado moving along the tree tops. The tornado reached a clearing near Cable Bridge Rd where it tossed a small awning similar to a gas station awning into a few power poles causing them to snap. Thereafter, the NDVI differencing in conjunction with an apparent tornado debris signature on KLIX radar shows the tornado continued north-northwest through mainly rural areas of trees. The end of the path is somewhere along Cleveland Ladner Rd per NDVI differencing and it is noted that the tornado debris signature continued approximately another 0.75 miles north before dissipating. However, no apparent damage could be identified using high resolution satellite imagery to confirm a clear end point.

An NWS Storm Survey of the Moss Point tornado found damage representative of an 80 MPH EF-0. The tornado touched near Grierson St and Hwy 63 in Jackson County, MS, where it broke large branches off trees and partially snapped a hardwood tree. It then crossed Hwy 63 and Marvin Ave moving NE and moved northward over the marsh area and crossed Elder Ferry Rd, where it snapped several more large branches and a hallowed out hardwood tree. The tornado continued northward where it crossed I-10 and broke some branches off of nearby trees, in addition to damaging a road sign. At this point, the tornado began to occlude north-northwest where it damaged a swath of deciduous trees near Old Saracennia Road within the PQL air field. The tornado then began to gradually weaken per high resolution satellite NDVI differencing and radar imagery and it is estimated to have lifted somewhere south of the Sentinel Drive neighborhood.

A tornado touched down snapping numerous small branches on trees near the intersection of River Place Dr and River Walk Dr. It moved northwestward and snapped two oak trees as it crossed River Bluffs Dr. The most concentrated damage was found near the east end of Polly Lake Rd. in this area numerous large pine trees were snapped. It also caused damage to a home near the end of the road, tearing facia from both the front and back of the home near the eaves, tossing a small metal shelter and rolling a small out building. Based on the large snapped pine trees, the tornado is given a maximum rating of EF-1 with estimated peak winds of 104 mph. The tornado then turned more toward the north-northwest and crossed Wade-Vancleave Rd before turning more northward. It lifted as it approached the intersection of Old River Rd and Moungers Rd. Numerous large branches were snapped from several oak trees on a property just south of the intersection, but no damage was found beyond this point.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

An EF0 (85 mph) tornado touched down just north of Big Point, MS near Bentwood Drive at around 5:24 PM CDT. The tornado continued generally northward where a swath of trees could be seen visibly damaged on high resolution satellite imagery. The tornado then crossed the Soccer Fields at Lum Cumbest Park, where it leaned a freestanding metal light pole. As it progressed northward into the Park Ridge Estates community, it broke branches and snapped several trees. The tornado then continued to parallel Highway 613 northward into an open field and rural land where video confirmation indications the tornado gradually roped out as it approached Highway 614. The exact end point of this tornado was estimated based off video and high resolution satellite imagery.

A damage path identified on high resolution satellite imagery after 10/29/22 was in close association to a tornado debris signature on KMOB radar which tracked over inaccessible lands along the Pascagoula River. Only small patches of tree damage could be identified, but the degree of damage remains indiscernible due to limitations of the imagery resolution. Therefore, this is rated EF Unknown.
