The wider storm

Widespread strong to severe thunderstorms developed along and behind of an approaching cold front during the morning of December 28th. Some of these storms produced small hail and a couple of the stronger clusters caused some wind damage. Later in the afternoon, increased instability and low-level wind shear in the warm sector allowed a few supercells to develop across Central and Northeast Louisiana. Immediately behind the supercells, a quasi-linear convective system developed and moved quickly eastward producing a few instances of strong damaging winds.

Began near Gilmer Upshur Co Arp (32.6900, -94.9400).
