| Episode Narrative | A line of thunderstorms moved across the region during the late afternoon and evening. Multiple tornadoes occurred with the line of storms in Central Louisiana. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado began over northeast Cottonport near the intersection of Lana Street and Zion Street where homes sustained substantial roof and carport damage while multiple tree branches were scattered. The path continued along a NE motion over rural lands while cross Couvillion Street. Further tree damage and debris was found in nearby farmland along the tornado path. Later the path crossed MP Cutoff Road near Mill Bayou with damage of large tree trunks seen nearby. Southeast of Hamburg the tornado uprooted more trees south of Coco Lake. Hereafter, the tornado took a ENE motion starting along HWY 451 crossing Sutton Lake. After a 15 mile track the tornado ended near a cemetery along HWY 451 and Big Bend Road where further tree damage and the collapse of an old home was found. Maximum winds were estimated at 105 mph. |
