Event narrative (NOAA)

An EF-3 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 140 mph touched down along Highway 126 in rural Southeast Caldwell Parish, just southeast of the Holum community. The most intense damage of the tornado occurred here as two residences were essentially destroyed. One residence was a one or two family residence which had its roof and most of its walls removed, with many interior walls collapsed. One injury occurred at this home, but fortunately, was not significant. A nearby single-wide mobile home was also destroyed from this tornado. In addition, many barns and/or outbuildings were destroyed in this general location and at least several livestock were killed. The peak 140 mph EF-3 rating of this tornado occurred here as well, due to observed tree debarking near the one or two family reside
