| Episode Narrative | A warm front lifted north across Southwest Louisiana. Scattered showers and storms occurred with some becoming severe. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado touched down on Hecker Road, where it tore a front porch awning off a home, and blew down many tree limbs. Further southeast on River Road, several trees were snapped at the base. A portable building was rolled over in one yard. An RV flipped out of a driveway and landed on a house, causing considerable damage to the wall and roof of the brick house. Two barns on the property lost their roofs. A large sturdy portable building was pushed 5 feet off its piling, and the roof was ripped off. Much of this debris was blown into neighboring homes and barns causing damage to them as well. A neighboring mobile home lost a portion of its roof. Trees were also blown down on Dennison Road and Sidney Leger Road, before the tornado dissipated. The max wind speed was estimated at 110 MPH. |
