| Episode Narrative | During the late afternoon of April 13 and into the evening and overnight, a strong spring storm system pushed across the Lower Mississippi Valley region and brought widespread severe weather, a regional tornado outbreak, and flash flooding. This event started over eastern Texas and steadily pushed eastward into the evening and overnight. Storms associated with this system started as a few line clusters then evolved into a full blown linear complex. Within this line, smaller bowing segments formed and it was these features that supported the regional outbreak of tornadoes. A total of 20 tornadoes occurred across our forecast area, six of which were rated as strong (EF2). In addition to the tornadoes, several reports of large hail were received along with many instances of wind damage. Heavy rainfall was also impactful and multiple inches of rain quickly fell across some locations and caused flash flooding, some of it extensive. |
| Event Narrative | This tornado touched down at the intersection of Boyd Duckworth and Lilly Valley Church Roads. Some broken limbs and a few downed trees were noted along with skirting blown from a mobile home. Heading northeast, limb damage increased along with a few more trees down. The covering from a porch and the tin roof of a mobile home was taken off. This debris was thrown into another mobile home and caused the door to fly open which then debris caused a minor injury. Other minor tin damage occurred to a few mobile homes here. Tree damage increased as it cross Decar Page Drive. with EF1 type tree damage continuing as it neared Gilmer Road and crossed Gilmer Road. One home had shingle damage and had the base of the roof lifted some. As the tornado crossed into Smith County, it reached peak intensity and numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. At the end of Smith County Road 21 D, heavy tree damage was noted. One home had the car port removed and residents said the house shifted. Some of the tin roof was damaged as well. As the tornado moved along Old Gilmer Road, a large metal shed had the roof removed. The tornado dissipated shortly after along Old Gilmer Road. This tornado continued into Smith County. Maximum estimated winds were 100 mph. Total path length was 4.11 miles. |
