| 16:10Z | EF1 | KSHV | LA | Bossier | Linton | An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 110 mph touched down in Central Bossier Parish north of the Red Chute community on a private extension of Crouch Road on the edge of Bayou Bodcau. Here, the tornado did significant damage to a few metal sheds and downed numerous trees (including a few hardwoods), snapping and uprooting their trunks. The tornado then tracked northeast and crossed Bellevue Road and Highway 157 where the damage remained confined to trees. The tornado then paralleled, but remained just southeast of Cotton Valley Road, before it crossed International Paper Road, downing additional trees. The tornado then crossed over into Webster Parish. Although the higher tornadic winds were found in Central Webster Parish, estimated wind speeds from this EF-1 tornado throughout Bossier Parish consistently ranged from 90-100 mph. |
| 16:28Z | EF1 | KSHV | LA | Webster | Hortman | This is a continuation of the Bossier Parish EF-1 tornado. This tornado, with estimated maximum winds near 110 mph, tracked northeast across Fuller Road, with damage confined to trees as it moved over Bayou Dorcheat and over Dorcheat Road. The tornado then crossed Highway 371 and Couchwood Road, where additional trees were snapped and uprooted, with a portion of one tree responsible for minor damage to a shed off of Couchwood Road. The tornado then moved across heavily wooded areas in Central Webster Parish that was inaccessible by vehicle, but tornadic debris signatures from doppler radar remained consistent within the tight rotation in the favorable area of the storm to suggest that it remained on the ground where it crossed Mims Road, where several hundred hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued to Evergreen School Road where two single family homes and their sheds were significantly damaged. A brick home lost most of its roof and as the roof was torn off, it toppled a brick wall. The damage to the brick wall was not rated up to an EF-2 as it occurred due to impacts from the removal of the roof and not the direct winds of the tornado. However, it was here where the tornado was strongest, with estimated maximum winds near 110 mph. The second home also had most of its roof torn off. The tornado then crossed Highway 159, where it picked up a single wide mobile home and carried it approximately 50 yards, with the undercarriage separating from the rest of the home and wrapping it around a tree. The rest of the mobile home was destroyed when it landed. Three other nearby mobile homes suffered minor damage to their roofs and/or carports. The tornado showed signs of weakening in the tree damage indicators after it crossed Angi Road and into Western Claiborne Parish. |

| 23:08Z | EF2 | KGWX | AL | Lawrence | Rigdom | A team consisting of National Weather Service, Lawrence County Emergency Management, and an Auburn University Structural Engineering survey team determined the damage in northern Lawrence County was attributed to a strong EF-2 tornado.||Damage was first observed along CR 101 north of CR 143. Large-limb tree damage was the primary damage indicator observed in this area, with estimated winds of 107 mph close to touchdown.||East of CR 101, the tornado intensified significantly as it approached CR 265. Approximately 1 mile south of Highway 20, major damage occurred to three structures. Structure damage indicators were a combination of single wide and double wide manufactured homes. It should be noted that one of the structures listed as a double wide was a prefabricated home with no anchor system. The traditional double wide manufactured home included an auger anchor system while the single wide home had a pan anchor system. Regardless of the anchor, each system failed due to intense lifting force, which led to the structure to roll off its plot, causing total destruction. Two fatalities and an injury were reported at the double wide home, with additional injuries at the other destroyed structures.||Thanks to preliminary footage from an Alabama Emergency Management Agency drone team, the tornado was observed to take a slight right turn and continue toward the Courtland area. Along and south of Alabama Highway 20 in Courtland, uprooted and large snapped tree branches were the main damage indicators. A small mobile home was slightly shifted off its plot, denoting mid-range EF-0 winds. The path continued east-northeast and crossed U.S. Highway 72, causing more tree damage on CR 150. Along CR 150, south of CR 400, the strongest damage indicator was a small and well-built block outbuilding. This structure was mostly destroyed, except for a back wall. The tornado continued to weaken as it approached and crossed CR 389. Large tree branches were downed and minor roof damage was observed at three residences. Minor tree damage continued toward the river in the vicinity of CR 400.||The tornado crossed the Tennessee River and laid down again on the Limestone County shore near Brigadoon Drive. |
| 23:17Z | EF3 | KDGX | MS | Lamar | Sumrall | This tornado began near Bear Bay off of Rocky Branch Road where it snapped a few softwood tree limbs and removed a large portion of a home���s roof. The tornado rapidly increased in strength as it progressed northeast to west of Mississippi Highway 589/Main Street where it snapped numerous softwood trees. The damage here supported a multi-vortex tornado as one very intense vortex occurred. A well built brick structure had the roof removed and one of the exterior walls collapsed. Six vehicles were thrown with two large vans thrown 40-60 yards into a pile. One hardwood tree was ripped out of the ground (with no root ball) and piled by the vans. It then crossed Mississippi Highway 589/Main Street snapping and uprooting multiple softwood trees and causing damage to the portion of a one-story home. It continued to snap the trunks and large branches of softwood trees when it moved northeast to Poplar Street. A large cluster of snapped softwood trees was clearly evident once it neared Mississippi Highway 42, and it continued to snap softwood trees when it crossed Mississippi Highway 42. Just north of Highway 42, an insulation company had damage to its metal storage building, where some walls were pulled from the building. When the tornado reached the Sumrall Sports Complex at Rayburn Road, it caused damage to the fence and bleachers.

| 02:07Z | EF2 | KBMX | AL | Marengo | Demopolis Muni Arpt | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in extreme northwest Marengo County and determined that it was consistent with an EF2 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 120 mph.||The tornado first touched down along County Road 28 where minor tree damage was noted on the east side of the road. The tornado tracked northeast over mainly forested areas of Marengo County for several miles producing sporadic tree damage. The tornado widened and strengthened rapidly as it continued northeast toward Highway 80. The tornado reached its widest point near Highway 80. Substantial tree damage was noted on both the north and south sides of Highway 80 along and near the intersection of County Road 57. A home sustained roof damage along County Road 57.

Inspection of both dwellings indicated little to no anchorage of the structures. Three people were reported injured at this location with one being airlifted for more serious injuries. Tree damage in this area was extensive with large old growth hardwoods snapped. The combination of the damage to the conventional brick home, along with the tree damage and manufactured home destruction, prompted the maximum wind rating of 120 mph.
