Episode Narrative Tropical Storm Beryl briefly strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane with 80 mph winds as it made landfall along the Southeast Texas coast near Matagorda Bay during the early morning hours of July 8th, and tracked north-northeast across East Texas and into Southwest Arkansas during the afternoon and evening hours. While Beryl weakened into a tropical storm over portions of Deep East Texas by mid-afternoon, very strong wind shear and helicity existed near and east of the center, contributing to the largest tornado outbreak in NWS Shreveport history, as well as with any landfalling tropical system. A total of 43 tornadoes were confirmed through NWS surveys across East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas, before Beryl weakened into a depression by late afternoon over East Texas. As a part of this outbreak, 25 tornadoes touched down across portions of North Louisiana.
Event Narrative A brief EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 105 mph touched down about 6 miles northeast of Minden near the intersection of Highway 79 and Dogwood Trail, where multiple large trees were snapped or uprooted. On Dogwood Trail, numerous large trees were snapped within a grove of trees near a home. The tornado continued northwest across Palmer Road, where additional trees were snapped and uprooted, before lifting shortly thereafter.
