What happened

The episode as NWS MOB wrote it up.

Please see the detailed narrative on Hurricane Ivan under Alabama, Southwest, September 13-16, 2004. Hurricane force winds, primarily in gusts, occurred over most interior portions of southeast Mississippi during the late evening hours of September 15th ,and the very early morning hours of September 16th. Duration of the winds producing hurricane force gusts was around two hours. These strong winds downed some trees across the region, some of which fell onto structures which were damaged as a result. Although Ivan did produce wind damage across southeast Mississippi, this damage was neither as widespread nor as severe as was the wind damage over much of southwest Alabama and the western Florida panhandle.
