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 EF1 tornado. The tornado first touched down west of Farmerville south of Hwy. 2 snapping numerous trees in a neighborhood along Bayou Darbonne. The tornado continued east along Hwy. 2 snapping trees and powerlines eventually crossing the highway near Selig St. moving across the north side of Farmerville. The tornado crossed Marion Highway near Old Carr Road snapping numerous trees and powerlines and continued northeast crossing Tech Drive where several trees were downed onto homes causing significant damage to a few homes. The tornado continued northeast along Hudson Road snapping a few trees and eventually lifting west of John Edwards Road. Much of the town of Farmerville was without power for more than 24 hours including the hospital which ran on generators for more than 24 hours. The maximum winds were estimated at 85-90 mph.
