It continued to trek northeast across Big Creek Road where multiple hardwood trees were uprooted and several large limbs were snapped. A one-story residence lost the majority of its shingles on the backside of the residence, whilst it also snapped two wooden power poles. It continued to uproot and snap hardwood trees on JL Taylor Road in addition to peeling off some of metal roof from a metal outdoor shed. The tornado gained strength as it pushed northeast across Ballard Road, pushing a mobile home off of its cinder blocks and moving the Union Chapel Church four-feet from its original position, all the while snapping and uprooting multiple hardwood trees. The worst destruction along the aforementioned road occurred with a larger mobile home where it rolled several feet and was completely demolished. It crossed US Highway 425 uprooting trees and when it moved northeast of US Highway 425 across Hemphill Road, it rolled and destroyed a small mobile home where one injury and one fatality were reported. The fatality occurred several weeks after this tornadic event due to sustained injuries. It lifted along LA Highway 825 just south of LA Highway 132/Bienville Trace Scenic Byway, but not before uprooting and snapping multiple hardwood trees along LA Highway 825.

The tornado continued northeast on to a residential area of mobile homes on the grounds of the David Wade Correctional Center. The most concentrated damage was found near the gun range, with a well-defined convergent damage swath with hardwood and softwood trees snapped and uprooted along its path.

| 00:46Z | EFU | KDGX | LA | Madison | Tendal | This tornado initiated east of LA Highway 577 and moved north northeast before lifting east of LA Highway 579.
