Event narrative (NOAA)

This is a continuation of the Northern Red River Parish EF-2 tornado. This tornado, with estimated maximum winds near 115 mph, crossed Loggy Bayou Road and Highway 515 and across Highway 71 just west of the Loggy Bayou Wildlife Management Area, where several trees were snapped and uprooted, and minor to moderate structural damage occurred due to fallen trees and limbs downed onto these structures. The tornado then crossed Highway 154 east of Elm Grove, where approximately 10 trees were snapped/uprooted at a residence, with an intense burst of tree damage observed farther north on Robinson Road. The tornado continued north-northwest and paralleled Highway 157, where numerous hardwood and softwood trees were snapped near and north of Wilkerson Road, before crossing Highway 527 and Goathill R
