| Episode Narrative | Moist southerly flow and daytime heating ahead of a strong trough combined with sufficient wind shear to bring a line of severe storms through the region. Within this line, a few tornadoes and some wind damage occurred across Louisiana and Arkansas and the Delta of Mississippi. |
| Event Narrative | An EF-1 tornado developed on the evening of April 7th near Holly Ridge Road in northeast Morehouse Parish. The tornado damaged a tin awning, removing several sheets and tossing them into a field nearby. The tornado continued northeast where it strengthened to its maximum intensity and damaged a mixed stand of predominantly older pecan and a few oak trees. The majority of trees in this area were snapped or pushed over. Continuing northeast, the tornado downed a few power poles and trees as well as damaged a few structures near Zaunbrecher Road. One home lost most of a wall of an attached garage and had some roofing damage while another outbuilding had its door blown in. The tornado continued northeast a brief distance further before dissipating in a nearby field. The max estimated wind speed was around 100 mph. |
