Episode Narrative Severe thunderstorms developed along and ahead of a dry line which moved out of north Texas and southern Oklahoma. Shear was very strong ahead of the dry line in the lower and mid levels of the atmosphere. The result was wind damage, hail and a few tornadoes reported across the region.
Event Narrative The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Union Parish and concluded that damage was the result of an EF0 tornado. The tornado first touched down over Bayou Darbonne per eyewitness accounts as a rain wrapped tornado. The tornado tracked east crossing Terral Island Road snapping numerous tree branches. The tornado continued east primarily damaging trees southeast of Farmerville. The tornado then travelled along Hwy. 2 east of Farmerville snapping a few trees and large limbs before lifting near the intersection of Hwy. 2 and Joe Rodgers Road. The maximum winds are estimated at 70-75 mph.
