2635, AND FARM-TO-MARKET ROAD 2694. THE TORNADO FINALLY LIFTED
ALONG FOREST SERVICE ROAD 143 JUST SOUTH OF FARM-TO-MARKET ROAD
417. DESPITE A RELATIVELY WEAK VELOCITY COUPLET ON THE KSHV WSR-
88D, THE DAMAGE PATH WAS WELL OBSERVED IN THE VICINITY OF A TDS

SURVEY SUMMARY:
AROUND 8:33PM CDT ON MARCH 28TH, 2025, A SMALL SUPERCELL WAS
MOVING NORTHWARD ACROSS CADDO PARISH TO THE SOUTH OF THE TOWNS OF
VIVIAN AND HOSSTON. THE STORM BEGAN TO ROTATE AND PRODUCED A
TORNADO DEBRIS SIGNATURE (TDS) ON THE DUAL POLARIZATION RADAR
PRODUCT, CORRELATION COEFFICIENT (CC) JUST WEST OF CENTERVILLE RD
AND SOUTH OF HWT 2 NEAR BLACK BAYOU LAKE. THIS INDICATES THAT
DEBRIS WAS LOFTED FROM THE CIRCULATION, ALTHOUGH THE DAMAGE
SURVEY TEAM WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY VISUAL DAMAGE NEAR THE
INITIAL TDS IN THIS LOCATION. THEREFORE, AN EF-UNKNOWN (EFU)
RATING WAS GIVEN IN THIS AREA. THE TORNADO THEN CROSSED HWY
2 AROUND 8:35PM CDT AND MOVED ALONG AN UNNAMED/UNPAVED ROADWAY
JUST TO THE SOUTH OF BLACK BAYOU LAKE. THE EFU RATING WAS
CONTINUED IN THIS AREA GIVEN THE PERSISTENT TDS SIGNATURE ON
RADAR DESPITE NO VISUAL EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE. THE TORNADO THEN
PASSED OVER BLACK BAYOU LAKE AROUND 8:40 PM CDT BEFORE THEN
REACHING RUDD RD AND ED RD ON THE NORTH-CENTRAL SIDE OF THE LAKE
AROUND 8:42 PM CDT. HERE THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO
TREES IN THE FORM OF LARGE BRANCHES BROKEN AND SEVERAL UPROOTS,
INDICATIVE OF WINDS AROUND 75-80 MPH. THE TORNADO MOVED DUE NORTH
ALONG RUDD RD TO THE INTERSECTION OF WYNN SCHOOL RD WHERE
ADDITIONAL TREE DAMAGE WAS FOUND. BY 8:45 PM CDT, THE TORNADO
REACHED MIRA MYRTIS RD WHERE THE MOST EXTENSIVE DAMAGE WAS FOUND.
ALONG THIS ROAD, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN WYNN SCHOOL RD AND HOSSTON
RODESSA RD S THERE WERE SEVERAL TREES UPROOTED, LARGE BRANCHES
BROKEN, AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO A GARAGE/SHED NEXT TO A HOME
WHERE THE ROOF OF THE SHED WAS DAMAGED. BASED ON THE EXTENT OF
THE ROOF DAMAGE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA, WIND SPEEDS WERE
ESTIMATED AT HIGH-END EF0 AROUND 85 MPH. THE TORNADO CONTINUED
NORTHWARD, WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE FOUND, BUT EVIDENCE OF A CONTINUED
WEAK TDS SIGNATURE, PROMPTING ANOTHER EFU RATING. BY 8:50 PM CDT
THE TORNADO WAS LOCATED NORTH OF TYSON RD AND NEAR OR ALONG
ATLANTA MIRA RD WHERE ADDITIONAL TREE DAMAGE WAS NOTED.
THEREAFTER, AROUND 8:53 PM CDT, THE TORNADO APPEARED TO HAVE
LIFTED, WITH NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE FOUND AND NO INDICATION OF A
CONTINUED TDS SIGNATURE. IN ADDITION, RADAR VELOCITY DATA
INDICATED WEAKENING CIRCULATION AS THE STORM CONTINUED TOWARDS
THE LOUISIANA/ARKANSAS BORDER.
EF SCALE: THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE CLASSIFIES TORNADOES INTO THE
FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:
EF0.....65 TO 85 MPH
EF1.....86 TO 110 MPH
EF2.....111 TO 135 MPH
EF3.....136 TO 165 MPH
