01:00Z EF0 KDGX MS Warren Oak Ridge An EF-0 tornado touched down near the intersection of Ballground Road and Possum Hollow Road where it downed a tree onto a church. The tornado moved northeast along Possum Hollow Rd. and blew down intermittent trees and large branches. It dissipated in the vicinity of Oak Ridge Road. Maximum estimated winds were 75 mph.
01:23Z EF1 KDGX MS Hinds Morning Star An EF-1 tornado touched down near Bush Bottom Road. The tornado initially did scattered damage to tree branches in open farmland, but it quickly strengthened to its maximum intensity with estimated 100 mph winds and destroyed two outbuildings near Bush Bottom Road. The tornado continued generally east across the Natchez Trace and Bill Downing Road. Damage in these areas was mostly to trees and vegetation, but some minor roof damage occurred to homes in the area. Falling trees contributed to additional damage including downed power lines and fencing. A few homes were more heavily damaged due to trees falling onto them. The tornado continued east and caused additional tree and roof damage as it crossed Dupree Rd., Stewart Dr., Carolyn Dr., and Old Port Gibson Rd. before it dissipated at MS Highway 18.
01:56Z EF0 KPOE LA Sabine Clare An NWS Storm Survey found that a high precipitation supercell thunderstorm crossing over the Toledo Bend Reservoir on the evening of April 9th produced a weak EF-0 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 85 mph, beginning in the vicinity of Kites Landing on the western shore of the far southwestern portion of Sabine Parish. The tornado tracked northeast for a little shy of 4 miles, just along or north of Ferguson Road and ending near the intersection of Highway 191 and Prospect Road. Fortunately, the tornado mainly did just tree damage in the form of many hardwood and softwood uproots and breaking of large branches. Many other trees were downed or lost limbs near and to the south of the surveyed tornado due to straight line winds as the south flank of the aforementioned supercell thunderstorm evolved into more of a bowing line segment. These straight line winds also damaged a few structures, mostly due to falling tree debris, in the Pirates Cove area, along the Toledo Bend Forest Scenic Byway, and along Rattan Road. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were associated with both the tornado and the straight line winds and structural damage was relatively minimal.
07:47Z EF1 KHGX TX Harris Delhi A tornado initially touched down near or over Mason Road and immediately produced winds of approximately 90 mph as it destroyed a Firestone commercial building and significantly damaged the commercial strip mall in the vicinity (EF1). The building room and southern outer wall appeared to fail when tornadic winds blew out the west facing windows in the lobby. A large commercial AC unit was thrown from south to north into the parking lot, with the Firestone building and majority of debris pushed more east to west. After leaving the touchdown point, the circulation then broadened and weakened to EF0 after it moved another 1.5 miles or so through the adjacent neighborhood to the east. Many trees were damaged (large limbs and some uprooting). There was only minor structural damage outside of that caused by downed trees and branches. Winds were generally 65 to 75 mph across this track.
09:35Z EF0 KDGX MS Madison Mansdale An EF-0 tornado touched down near the northwestern side of the Mannsdale Upper Elementary campus and then moved northeast and produced intermittent, mostly tree damage in a path that crossed MS Highway 463, Mannsdale Road, and then residential areas along Livingston Drive. The maximum estimated winds were 85 mph. The tornado dissipated near Bidon Drive.
10:55Z EF2 KLCH TX Jefferson Port Arthur A NWS storm survey revealed that an EF-2 tornado impacted areas of Port Arthur. The tornado began near the intersection of 17th Street and Savannah Ave southeast of Motiva. The tornado path traveled east, peaking out near the Progressive Missionary Baptist Church where a large portion of the masonry walls collapsed. Another home near 11th Street and Orange Ave had the roof completely removed and some walls collapsed. Home and tree damage was extensive across these neighborhoods in Port Arthur. The path continued across Rose Hill Park and onto Pleasure Island. The tornado likely continued into Sabine Lake. Maximum estimated winds were 120 mph.
11:30Z EF1 KLCH LA Cameron Sweet Lake The tornado began near the intersection of Herbert Camp Rd and Big Pasture Road, resulting in EF0-EF1 tree damage as it headed northeast. Surging winds to the south of the tornadic circulation removed the roof of an outbuilding farther east down Big Pasture Rd. The tornado continued northeast through marshy and uninhabited areas, crossing the Intracoastal waterway south of the Grand Lake Swing Bridge. To the south of LA-384, an untethered mobile home was flipped and destroyed. On the north side of the highway, an RV and a small outbuilding were overturned. The tornado continued east-northeast, causing additional tree damage as it neared and crossed Gulf Highway. |The tornado caused additional tree damage as it passed through the Vincent Road and Piccou Lane area before dissipating shortly after.
11:31Z EF1 KLCH LA Cameron Grand Lake The tornado touched down to the south of LA-384 near Honore Lane, damaging trees as it headed northeast toward the Intracoastal waterway. The tornado continued through generally marshy and uninhabited areas until nearing Gulf Highway to the south of b1BANK, causing additional tree damage and tearing off a metal awning from a storage building and tossing it approximately 300 feet into a neighboring yard. The tornado then crossed Gulf Highway, leaning wooden utility poles toward the east, and|dissipating in a field to the southeast of the bank. Max estimated winds were 100 mph.
11:38Z EF2 KLCH LA Calcasieu Lake Charles A tornado touched down near Vernon road on the eastern side of McNeese State University and crossed Common, Center, Harvard and Kirkman streets before moving into the Moss Memorial Health Complex causing damage to roofing. The tornado continued across Louisiana Ave where it further intensified destroying the roofs of several homes along Elton Court while also causing widespread tree and electrical damage. The tornado weakened as it crossed Brentwood lane before dissipating just east of Walton Street. Maximum estimated winds were 115 mph.
11:41Z EF1 KLCH LA Calcasieu Holmwood A brief tornado touched down on a property to the west of West Todd Rd, destroying a sheet metal carport, causing overhang/fascia damage to a home and tree damage. The tornado continued northeast crossing W Todd Road and an open field, reaching a property to the west of LA-27 causing additional tree damage and overturning an unanchored wooden storage barn prior to dissipating. Maximum estimated winds were estimated at 100 mph.
11:41Z EF1 KLCH LA Calcasieu Lake Charles Lake A tornado briefly touched down near the intersection of Ryan Street and 17th Street, causing extensive damage to the Library Riot Bar. The tornado caused partial roof loss to an outbuilding between Deaton Street and Doolan Lane before dissipating. Maximum estimated winds were 100 mph.
11:51Z EF1 KLCH LA Jefferson Davis Lacassine The Tornado began east of LA-101 along Ardoin Cove Road, causing damage to trees and a mobile home. A metal building had part of its roof removed, which was thrown into a field. The tornado moved east-northeast, crossing Parish Road 720A and causing damage to utility poles, then crossing LA-1131 causing damage to trees and mobile homes. The tornado continued east-northeast toward LeBlanc Road causing damage to several metal outbuildings, then passed through agricultural fields before crossing Abell|Road west of East Bayou Lacassine. The tornado caused additional tree damage north of Abell Road prior to dissipating west of LA-99.
