| 21:17Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Garvin | Pauls Valley | A tornado moved east-southeast from west of County Road 3210 about a mile and a half north of State Highway 29 to just east of Indian Meridian Road. Seven homes, a few outbuildings, trees and power poles were damaged. |
| 21:23Z | EF0 | KTLX | OK | Carter | Springer | A brief tornado was observed by a storm chaser at close range. Debris observed by the chaser is believed to have been from a damaged outbuilding. This was a brief first tornado that occurred about a minute before a much larger tornado developed northeast of Springer. |
| 21:24Z | EF2 | KTLX | OK | Carter | Springer | Damage was observed in high-resolution satellite imagery from a large tornado that occurred in areas of the southern Arbuckle Mountains inaccessible to ground survey teams. The large tornado developed on the southern slopes of the Arbuckle Mountains and was observed by many storm spotters and storm chasers as it moved northeast into the Arbuckles. The satellite imagery indicated a clear path of tree damage that moved intermittently northeast and east-northeast with the most significant and widest area of tree damage along a tree line along Cool Creek where numerous large trees were toppled along a 600 yard wide path. The tornado crossed into Murray County south-southwest of Dougherty. |
| 21:36Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Murray | Dougherty | Damage from a large tornado was observed in high-resolution satellite imagery from a tornado that occurred in areas of the southern Arbuckle Mountains inaccessible to ground survey teams. The large tornado developed in northern Carter County northeast of Springer then moved into Murray County south-southwest of Dougherty where tree damage was observed in satellite imagery. The damage path in Murray County was less than one-quarter of a mile before the tornado dissipated. |
| 21:45Z | EFU | KTLX | OK | Marshall | Madill | Spotters and chasers observed a brief tornado southwest of Madill. This tornado produced no known damage and the location is estimated. |
| 21:53Z | EF2 | KTLX | OK | Marshall | Oakland | The Madill tornado initially developed near State Highway 99C and west of Breezy Hill Road. The tornado moved east-northeast along and just north of Highway 99C and then crossed US-377 and moved through the southern portion of the city of Madill. The tornado turned east-southeast and dissipated about 2 miles southeast of the center of Madill. EF2 damage was noted to houses and industrial buildings in the south part of Madill and to power poles along the path.||Heavy damage occurred at J and I Manufacturing just southwest of Madill and the Oklahoma Steel and Wire on the southeast side of Madill. One person was ejected from his car and killed near the intersection of Highway 377 and Highway 99C when his car was hit by the tornado. And a truck driver from Mississippi who was making a delivery at Oklahoma Steel and Wire was outside of his truck, struck by falling debris and killed at the plant. One person was airlifted to a hospital in Plano Texas in critical condition, and an unknown number of people suffered minor injuries that did not require transport. |
| 22:10Z | EF0 | KTLX | OK | Marshall | Little City | Spotters and chasers observed a third tornado from the Madill storm east of Madill. An NWS storm survey noted damage to utility poles and trees southwest of Little City and west of Cumberland. |
| 22:26Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Johnston | Bromide | This tornado moved east from south of Bromide to north of Wapanucka and was observed by a number of spotters and chasers.

| 22:32Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Bryan | Cobb | This tornado touched down about 3 miles west-northwest of Armstrong and moved generally east for 5 miles damaging a number of homes, barns and trees. |
| 22:35Z | EF3 | KHGX | TX | Polk | Onalaska | Tornado touched down on the eastern shore of Lake Livingston, just NW of Onalaska then moved SE across the town then ESE across Polk County. Some of the most significant damage was in Paradise Acres area of Onalaska. Winds possibly reached 140 mph as the storm moved across this location, which was the only EF3 damage the NWS could confirm along the 30 mile track. The tornado killed three and injured 33 in Onalaska with 291 homes affected and 46 destroyed. It was estimated to be about 500 yards wide as it moved across the town. The tornado continued a general east-|northeastward track across rural Polk county where it snapped and uprooted numerous hardwood and softwood trees and intermittently damaged structures. The tornado path was measured at just over a half-mile wide as it crossed Highway 59 near Seven Oaks, where EF2 damage was surveyed with destruction of two mobile homes and |damage to hardwood trees. The tornado remained in rural areas until it ended very close to Barnes in northeast Polk county. Near the end of the track, a large tree destroyed a mobile home and miraculously just missed a man who was sitting at his computer. He was not seriously injured. For historical context, this was the deadliest single tornado for the NWS Houston-Galveston forecast area since Nov 15th, 1987 when a tornado also killed three in Madison County. The deadliest tornado on record for this area is the F4 in Galveston which killed 8 during Hurricane Carla in 1961. This is only the 8th multiple-fatality tornado for counties served by our office since 1950. |
| 22:52Z | EF1 | KTLX | OK | Bryan | Blue | A tornado was observed at close range by a storm chaser. The tornado was observed to break branches off a number of trees, and damage a building as it crossed Robinson Road, then cross over a pond. |
| 22:59Z | EF0 | KTLX | OK | Coal | Olney | Two independent storm chasers provided video of a tornado that was observed southwest of Lehigh from a storm that followed behind the storm that had produced the tornado near Bromide and Wapanucka. No damage is known to have occurred and the location of the tornado is estimated based on these videos and radar data. |
| 23:35Z | EF1 | KFWS | TX | Lamar | Belk | A majority of the damage associated with this tornado was to a mix of softwood and hardwood trees, though a few outbuildings were damaged near the community of Direct.

| 08:07Z | EF2 | KLIX | MS | Amite | East Fork | The tornado touched down in a forested area east of Hwy 569 and the start point is an approximation due to inaccessibility. It moved east-northeastward and quickly strengthened. By the time it reached Clark Rd, it was snapping or uprooting most trees near the center of its path. It turned slightly more northeastward as it approached Shaw Rd and was strongest as it crossed Wells Rd. On Wells Rd it tore most of the roof structure off of a single family home and also completely destroyed a 60x40 metal building bolted to a concrete slab. Also in this area, nearly every tree near the center of the path was snapped. This damage is consistent with maximum winds of around 130 mph. It was also widest in this area, reaching a maximum width of 1 mile. It continued travelling east northeast snapping and uprooting trees along its path. Then it crossed into Pike County just south of the intersection of Slay Rd with County Line Rd. |
| 08:21Z | EF1 | KLIX | MS | Pike | (mcb)lewis Fld Mccom | The large tornado entered Pike County just south of the intersection of Slay Rd with County Line Rd.

After briefly contracting to around one half mile in width as it neared and crossed the county line, it widened again to around one mile in width as it approached McComb and crossed I-55. On both sides of the interstate, damage was primarily to trees, with several trees snapped or uprooted along the path. Again, falling trees caused some structural damage to homes. After crossing Marion Ave between Christine Dr and Stewart St, it turned more northeastward and weakened a bit, causing far fewer trees to be snapped or uprooted along the remainder of its path. It lifted just northeast of Summit-Holmsville Rd, before reaching Buck Circle. |

The tornado developed northeast of Soso, just east of the Amy community. The tornado tracked over areas recently devastated by tornadoes on Easter, so it was difficult to identify new damage in some areas. Scattered to numerous trees were snapped and uprooted as the tornado moved east across northern Jones County toward Sandersville. The storm intensified briefly to a low EF-2 along Lake Como Road, where the southern half of a chicken house was completely destroyed. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted in the area. There was some structural damage caused by trees falling on houses. The most widespread damage extended from Shady Grove to Sharon, where swaths of trees were mowed down, snapped and uprooted.

The tornado|produced heavy damage to a mobile home at the intersection of Rocky |Creek Road and David Wade Road, removing the roof which then resulted in |the collapse of the walls on the back side of the structure. Several pine|trees were uprooted or snapped as well. The tornado then quickly lifted|east of this point. |
| 11:24Z | EF1 | KMOB | MS | George | Evanston | Just as the first tornado on David Wade Road lifted,|another tornado touched down just west of Highway 98 and traveled east,|paralleling just north of Old Mobile Highway and Gordon Road. The tornado|lifted near Odom Road. This tornado resulted in significant tree damage,|snapping a large amount of pine trees. Numerous large oak trees were also|uprooted. The downed trees produced damage to a few homes. A few other homes|suffered shingle and roof damage. There was also roof damage to a church|at the split between Old Mobile Highway and Gordon Road. A travel trailer |on Old Mobile Highway was flipped, resulting in a minor injury to one |person. |
| 11:37Z | EF1 | KMOB | AL | Mobile | Gulf Crest | The tornado touched down just between Lott Road and|Malone Road and moved east across Malone Road. Due to no access further|east, the end point is an estimate. The tornado resulted in primarily|tree damage. However, one large tree resulted in significant damage to a |home. One residence also had its garage door blown in and a shed was |heavily damaged. |
