| 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 on the south edge of the Archusa Creek Water Park along Ridgewood Road. Mostly large limbs were downed here, but there was a couple trees downed and a power line. The tornado then crossed a portion of the Quitman Country Club golf course and here several trees were uprooted. Damage increased to EF1 along Woodland Hills Drive with a few dozen snapped and uprooted trees. The tornado weakened as it crossed Highway 18, Conoco Lane and US Highway 45. Each of these locations had numerous large limbs down and a couple trees. The intensity increased to EF1 as it crossed county road 142 with numerous snapped trees. As the tornado traversed and crossed county road 140, it reached peak intensity of EF2. Extensive tree damage occurred as a corridor of both hardwood and softwood trees were 'mowed' down in a distinct zone at the center of the path. Also, 7-9 power poles were broken here. The high-end timber damage continue north of county road 140 as it passed through a small portion of the eastern side of Clarke County State Park. The last noted minor tree damage was along county road 147. Maximum estimated winds were 113 mph. |
