- Jasper County, TX (near Jasper) · Thunderstorm wind 45 mph · $5,000 · 2 deaths
“Tropical Storm Harvey moved into Cameron Parish with most sustained storm force winds confined to the coastal areas, however wind gusts of 35 to 45 mph were experienced well inland. These gusty winds combined with saturated soils produced conditions that allowed some trees to fall.” - Forrest County, MS (near Petal) · Tornado EF1 · $200,000
“This tornado touched down in Petal along West Central Ave. Here, two businesses sustained minor roof damage with a portion of the roof peeled off. Several trees were uprooted and a fence was blown down. As the tornado moved northward, a few more trees were downed along with limbs broken off trees.” - Lamar County, MS (near Tatums Camps) · Tornado EF1 · $150,000
“This tornado touched down in a wooded area just north of Purvis to Columbia Road, near the intersection of B Young Road.
