This weak and brief tornado started in an open field just south of John Crocker Road. A few trees were down and a large metal barn had much of the roof torn off and thrown across the field. The tornado then crossed Johnston Road. Here two carports were destroyed and some trees damaged. A neighboring home had a tree down on it. The tornado dissipated just beyond this area in an open field. The maximum estimated wind speed for this tornado was 85 mph.
The wider storm
A strong weather system interacted with an unstable airmass to bring widespread severe weather to the region. There was copious amounts of wind energy in the atmosphere ahead of the squall line to bring down trees and power lines from gradient winds. In addition, damaging winds and tornadoes occurred within the squall line as it moved through Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi.
Began near Dehlco (32.3733, -91.7256).
