12:55Z EF1 KSHV LA De Soto Hunter A EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 100 mph, briefly touched down along the west and east sides of Highway 763 a couple miles south of Stanley. Along its brief path, several softwood trees were snapped but multiple hardwood and softwood trees were uprooted. An outbuilding and a single family home on the west side of the road sustained roof damage by wind impacts alone. There was also minor wind damage to a single-wide mobile home on the east side of the road. A tornadic debris signature |from the Shreveport dopplar radar was observed with the surveyed damage, but also continued about a mile farther east. This suggests that the tornado probably continued on farther east for some distance after the end of the surveyed track, although the NWS survey team had no ground access to survey points immediately to the east.

13:21Z EF1 KSHV LA Webster Dorcheat An EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 90 mph, briefly touched down off of Fuller Road and Doerge Lane.

It then damaged the roof of a house along Highway 425, where it also snapped the trunk of a softwood tree and uprooted several trees in the yard of the residence. The tornado continued northeast, crossing Highway 425, where it struck another residence. A wooden car port was blown across the yard, along with a portion of the roof being damaged on the house.
