Event narrative (NOAA)

Several hours of severe non-thunderstorm winds resulted in numerous reports of downed and uprooted trees, downed powerlines, and roof and other property damage across all of Humphreys County. Tragically, this event was responsible for one fatality and one injury in Humphreys County. A tree fell near the intersection of Little Blue Creek Road and East Blue Creek Road between McEwen and Waverly. The tree fell on a car, impaling and killing 62-year-old James Howard Warner who was driving. The man's nephew, who was a passenger in the car, was injured and hospitalized. Damages are estimated.
