Storm damage in Delta County, May 9, 2024.
Storm survey teams with the National Weather Service will visit three counties Friday to determine if the damage from Thursday's storms was caused by a tornado.
The teams planned to visit sites in Fannin, Lamar, and Delta counties, primarily in the areas between Roxton and Biardstown and between Enloe and Lake Creek.
Damage was reported in the area to homes, cars, and trees. NBC 5 crews who visited the area Thursday night saw downed limbs and damage to roofs. The NWS teams will evaluate the damage to see if it was caused by a tornado or by straight-line winds.
A final assessment is expected to be released Friday afternoon.
