Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
425 AM CDT WED APR 20 2011
.DISCUSSION...
ONGOING CONVECTION REMAINS SEVERE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH
MISSISSIPPI...BUT HAS DIMINISHED IN BOTH COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
ELSEWHERE. A COLD FRONT IS APPROACHING LITTLE ROCK AND JACKSON
TENNESSEE BUT IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS NORTH MISSISSIPPI LATER
THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE WILL HELP TO FOCUS AFTERNOON
CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES WILL BE IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES SOUTH OF THE
FRONT...AND ARE AS HIGH AS 1.7 INCHES ACCORDING TO GFS GUIDANCE.
THIS SHOULD RESULT IN EXTREME RAINFALL RATES ACROSS NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI...EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND POSSIBLY PORTIONS OF WEST
TENNESSEE. WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL RESULT IN A TENDENCY FOR
STORMS TO TRAIN ACROSS THE SAME AREAS TODAY AND TONIGHT. HEAVY
RAIN HAS...OR IS ALREADY FALLEN ACROSS THIS AREA...SO ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL COULD RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING.
IN ADDITION TO FLOODING...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE SOUTH OF THE FRONT TODAY. DEEP MOISTURE AND WARMING
TEMPERATURES WILL RESULT IN VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS THIS
AFTERNOON. CAPES IN EXCESS OF 1500 J/KG AND VERY LITTLE CAP
SHOULD ALLOW FOR RAPID REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS AS
TEMPERATURES WARM TODAY DESPITE LACK OF DYNAMIC SUPPORT. DAMAGING
WIND AND POSSIBLY HAIL ARE THE PRIMARY THREATS.
TOMORROW...THE FRONT WILL RETURN NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT AND
UNORGANIZED BUT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH.
FRIDAY ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE OUT OF
THE PLAINS.THE SURFACE LOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL TRACK OVER NORTHERN
MISSOURI DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY SO STORMS WILL BE ABLE TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DAYTIME HEATING. A FEW SEVERE STORMS MAY
DEVELOP...MOST LIKELY ACROSS NORTHEAST ARKANSAS...AND SOUTH
MISSOURI.
&&
.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT AVIATION ACROSS
THE MIDSOUTH TONIGHT RESULTING IN BRIEF PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS
DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. OBSERVED CEILINGS WITH PREVIOUS STORMS HAVE
REMAINED AT OF ABOVE 3000 FEET. DANGEROUS LOCALIZED STRONG WINDS
WILL ALSO LIKELY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE
THUNDERSTORMS MOVE OUT OF REGION LOW CEILINGS WILL REMAIN THROUGH
MID-MORNING BEFORE A GRADUALLY LIFTING OF THE CLOUDS WITH VFR
CONDITIONS RETURNING BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
SOUTHERLY...ALTHOUGH VARY SIGNIFICANTLY NEAR THUNDERSTORMS.
WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWEST AROUND 10 KNOTS BEFORE SUNRISE
AND THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST TOMORROW MORNING AND NORTHEAST BY
AFTERNOON.
