| 17:47Z | EF1 | KSHV | AR | Union | Norphlet | An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 105 mph touched down about 3 miles southwest of Norphlet, just southwest of the intersection of Murphy Loop and Shady Grove Road. The tornado tracked northeast over the span of approximately one minute, snapping and uprooting several hardwood and softwood trees and causing minor damage to structures resulting mainly from the impacts of the fallen trees. The damage path ended just to the southeast of the intersection of Shady Grove Road, Murphy Loop, and Burchfield Road. |
| 20:38Z | EF1 | KLZK | AR | Garland | Blakely | This tornado began just to the southwest of Jessieville, causing tree damage around an Arkansas Forestry Commission building. The tornado then quickly moved northeast into Jessieville, and caused damage to a few homes in town. Most notably, damage was noted to several buildings on the campus of Jessieville High School, and three out of four fixed light poles for the football field were bent over. The tornado continued to move northeast, doing damage to a pole barn just north of town, before finally dissipating. |
| 21:11Z | EF1 | KPOE | LA | Sabine | Boleyn | An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 90 mph touched down near Terrell Road and Emanuel Church Road after it was initially spotted off of Little Egypt Road. There, it ripped some metal panels off of a home, flipped a swing set, and uprooted several trees. As the tornado continued on, it intermittently touched down several times, uprooting and snapping trees as it crossed Boline Road. At this location, it also damaged a small metal outbuilding. The tornado continued on to uprooted trees and down branches as it crossed Scourgout Road before lifting after crossing Thyra Johnson Road. |
| 21:43Z | EF0 | KSHV | LA | Red River | Martin | An EF-0 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 70 mph briefly touched down near Ashland Road several miles northeast of the Edgefield community, where it downed large branches and peeled the shingles off of a roof of a gazebo. After crossing Ashland Road, the tornado peeled a metal covering off of a porch of a double-wide manufactured home and damaged the skirting around the home before it lifted. |
| 22:37Z | EFU | KINX | OK | Osage | Carter Nine | A tornado was witnessed by multiple people from multiple locations. The tornado was over open country, and no known damage occurred. |
| 22:46Z | EF2 | KPOE | LA | Jackson | Wyatt | An EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 120 mph touched down just north of the Jackson/Winn Parish line along Highway 167 and moved northeast across Firetower Section Road and Highway 147/Walker Road, where numerous trees were snapped. On Walker Road, the tornado caused roof damage to a chicken house and some manufactured homes. The most significant damage on Walker Road occurred just north of its intersection with Whitman Road where a single-wide manufactured home, which was anchored into the ground, was flipped and rolled off of its foundation, destroying most of its roof and walls, but leaving the undercarriage attached. The tornado snapped and uprooted more trees and broke a wooden electrical pole as it crossed Rome Road, Highway 4, and Strain Allen Road. On Strain Allen Road, a very large hardwood tree was snapped and a home suffered the partial loss of its metal roof. More broken limbs and snapped trunks were observed as the tornado crossed Halfway Creek and travelled north-northeast along Kelley Road. The most significant damage along the entire tornado track occurred as it crossed Highway 811/Gladway Road near its intersection with Kelley Road. Here, a brick single-family home lost most of its roof. This caused the partial failure of the walls of the garage of the home, but the majority of the home remained standing and intact. A metal garage building on this property suffered a complete loss of its walls, but most of its roof and the metal frame poles remained standing. About 150 yards to the northwest, another brick single-family home suffered almost a total loss of its roof covering. The damage in this area was rated as EF-2 based mainly on the roof loss to the two homes. On the north side of Gladway Road, a double-wide manufactured home suffered the loss of most of its roof, but the walls remained standing. An attached carport on another single-family brick residence was destroyed as the tornado continued north of Gladway Road and west of Kelley Road. This tornado continued to snap numerous trees on Kelley Road as it continued northward crossing Slash Pine Road and again crossing Kelley Road and Parish Barn Road. More tree damage was observed along Lucy-Leonard Road and Highway 155. Two brick single-family homes on Highway 155 just west of Sugar Creek suffered some loss of shingles from the roof. The tornado began to weaken rapidly and caused more minor roof damage to a single-family home and snapped some large tree branches along Stonewall Road before finally lifting. Three minor injuries were reported from this tornado, but their exact locations were not available to the survey team. |
| 23:32Z | EF0 | KINX | OK | Mayes | Green | This tornado developed just east of Highway 69 and south of the 460 Road. Two outbuildings were damaged as it moved northeast across the 460 Road, and another outbuilding was destroyed as it crossed the 450 Road. The tornado then moved over the Oklahoma Mesonet Pryor station, which measured an 81 mph wind gust. The tornado continued moving northeast across the 440 Road and then the 430 Road, where the roof and siding of a home were damaged. It dissipated over open country north of the 430 Road and west of the N 437 Road. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 80 to 85 mph. |
| 23:52Z | EF1 | KINX | OK | Mcintosh | Texanna | This tornado developed near the Lake Eufaula shoreline near the 4240 Road, where large tree limbs were snapped. The tornado moved northeast across Texanna Road, destroying storage buildings, damaging homes, destroying a camper trailer, and uprooting trees, then moved across the Duchess Creek arm of the lake. It moved back onshore and across the 1120 Road, where trees were uprooted and an outbuilding was destroyed. The tornado then damaged trees as it crossed the 1110 Road, and dissipated east of the 4290 Road and west of the Muskogee County line. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 85 to 95 mph. |
| 00:19Z | EF2 | KSHV | LA | Union | Upco | An EF-2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 130 mph touched down west-southwest of the Haile community, crossing Ford and Arkansas Roads in a very rural area where hardwood and softwood trees were were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued on to the east-northeast, producing mostly tree damage as it crossed Cypress Road and Albert Barr Road. In addition, falling trees downed many power lines in this area as it moved to the northeast for two to three miles. The most significant damage occurred a little farther to the northeast as the tornado crossed Wheeler Road. At this location, there were a few collapsed electrical transmission towers which were rated as high-end EF-2 damage with estimated 130 mph winds. From here, the last few miles of the tornado tracked closer to the Haile community, crossing Highway 143, Jordan Taunton Road, Sunset Road, Haile Baptist Church Road, and Jessie Guinn Road. In these areas, the damage was again confined to mainly snapped and uprooted trees, with several homes and outbuildings heavily damaged, but mainly due to downed trees. The tornado was unique in a few ways. First, the path width was up to a half a mile in the latter portion of the track, which is very wide for a tornado which was mostly weak throughout a majority of its path. Secondly, the collapsing of the large electrical transmission towers garnered a rating up to 130 mph, but there were no other surveyed damage indicators which warranted an EF-2 rating. The survey team believes there could be other significant damage indicators near the downed transmission towers, although potentially live downed high voltage lines in the vicinity of the towers did not allow the survey team to survey in close proximity. |
| 00:23Z | EF1 | KINX | OK | Ottawa | Fairland | This brief tornado developed near the 560 Road, south of the 210 Road, where several outbuildings were damaged or destroyed, and large tree limbs were snapped. The tornado moved northeast and uprooted trees, before dissipating prior to reaching the 210 Road. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 90 to 95 mph. |
| 00:36Z | EF1 | KSHV | LA | Morehouse | Wardville | This tornado touched down along Wardville Road on the east side of Bussey Brake and moved northeast across Louisiana Highway 593 Bonner Ferry Road, where some trees were snapped. The tornado quickly dissipated after crossing the road. |
| 00:40Z | EF1 | KLZK | LA | Morehouse | Beekman | The tornado began on Twin Ham Rd initially producing some damage to pine trees before moving northeastwards toward Highway 425. As the tornado crossed the highway, it produced additional tree damage and damaged a gas production facility along Texas Gas Rd. This damage combined with additional tree damage, suggests that the tornado reached maximum intensity in this area with maximum estimated winds of 100 mph. The EF-1 tornado continued to track northeastward producing damage to mixed forest. As the tornado moved along Cain Rd, some farm out buildings were damaged with primarily tin peeling noted on the roofs. As the tornado paralleled the roadway, a few residents also suffered damage to tin and shingled roofs. The tornado dissipated near the intersection of Cain Rd and Gum Springs Rd with a few large branches downed. |
| 00:54Z | EF2 | KLZK | AR | Ashley | Berlin | This tornado began near the intersection of Ashley 270 Road and Ashley 25 Road west of the Overflow National Wildlife Refuge in southern Ashley County. As it moved northeast, the tornado uprooted, snapped, or damaged trees along its path. It crossed over several highways, county roads, and low-lying areas through the county until it reached Montrose near the intersection of US Highway 82 and 165. There the tornado intensified to its maximum intensity of EF-2 with estimated peak winds of 120 mph. Along US 82 near 9th Street, a small guest home on concrete blocks was pushed off its foundation and destroyed. A nearby mobile home was rolled across three parked cars which were also destroyed. Several sheds and outbuildings were destroyed in the immediate vicinity as well. Widespread damage was common in the western part of town where many homes suffered minor to moderate roof damage. Several trees were uprooted or snapped along with continued minor to moderate residential damage as the tornado moved northeast and across northern Montrose. It crossed US 165 north of Montrose where an outbuilding was destroyed. As the tornado moved into farmland northeast of town, a center pivot irrigation system was destroyed. It continued northeast into Chicot County and across the intersection of Arkansas Highways 144 and 293 where a home and several buildings lost roofing and paneling, and some power poles were blown down. The tornado crossed US Highway 65 and Cedar Road near the Bellaire community in northern Chicot County, blew down a few power poles and damaged a few trees, and then dissipated shortly after crossing into Desha County. |
