Event narrative (NOAA)

Damage survey observed scattered damage in the parish, particularly across the southern portion of the parish and to exposed areas along Caney Creek Reservoir in Jimmie Davis State Park. Tree damage in Winnfield was significant with mostly uproots and some snaps. One tree fell into a single wide manufactured home and killed a man on Ayres Loop in Jonesboro. Sustained winds bent trees and brief stronger gusts helped contribute to snaps off of Caney Creek Reservoir. Minor shingle damage was also observed in Jimmie Davis State Park. Tree fall generally ranged from southwest to west-southwest. Storm survey estimated sustained winds were 55 to 65 mph with peak wind gusts to 75 to 90 mph.
