Episode Narrative An upper level storm system moved across the region overnight on April 22nd into 23rd. Abundant moisture and wind energy was in place to bring severe thunderstorms to the region. Damaging winds occurred along with some tornadoes. Flash flooding also occurred with efficient rainfall rates and heavy rainfall. As the cold front moved through the region later during the afternoon of the 23rd, a few more storms developed during peak daytime heating and brought some hail and damaging winds to portions of eastern Mississippi.
Event Narrative This tornado began in far southern Catahoula Parish near the Red River Lock. It traveled along the Catahoula Parish /Avoyelles Parish border, where it damaged trees and mobile homes along Lula Willey Road. It then crossed the Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuge before crossing back into Catahoula Parish and ended before reaching Moody Road. The maximum estimated wind speed was 110 mph with an overall rating of EF1. The maximum path width was 0.68 miles. Total path length was 7.61 miles.
