Survey Summary:
This EF1 tornado developed within a QLCS and began along TX Hwy
37 just north of Winnsboro in Southwest Franklin County where it
snapped and uprooted several trees. The tornado continued east
along FM 3357, CR 3430, and CR 4340 and continued snapping and
uprooting numerous trees as it cross CR 4335, CR 4345, and began
to move along FM 1448. Tree damage became more extensive as it
approached the intersection of FM 1448 and FM115. At this
location, most of the metal roof panels were removed from a
South Franklin Fire Department building. Farther east, two homes
in the New Hope community were damaged. One house lost almost all
of the upwind portion of the roof when the roof overhanging a
porch was uplifted. A manufactured home also lost a portion of
its roof causing part of a wall failure. Two residents were in
this part of the manufactured home at the time but were
uninjured. Metal roof panels on a neighboring outbuilding were
also peeled back and twisted. Farther north, a church on CR
4395 lost some of its roof. More softwood trees were snapped and
uprooted along CR 4396 before the tornado moved over Lake Bob
Sandlin and crossed into Camp County.

From this point, damage was difficult to locate at the tornado 
skirted the southern shore of Lake Bob Sandlin. Some tree damage
indicative of a tornado was found along CR 2417 and along FM 21.
Move extensive tree damage was found beginning CR 2332, CR 2330,
and within the Thunderbird community just south of Lake Bob Sandlin.
As the tornado continued east and moved along FM 1520, several
structures were damaged at a fishing and recreational vehicle
campground. One outbuilding that was used as a cabin was sitting on
wooden beams and cinder blocks was blown away and destroyed. The
cabin was blown into a neighboring RV, which was then overturned.
Another RV was also overturned in this campground. Three injuries
occurred to occupants of the RV campers.

The tornado once again crossed a cove of Lake Bob Sandlin, and damage
started to become much more sporadic. More hardwood and softwood
trees were snapped just north of Hwy 255 and again just west of US
Hwy 271 south of the Camp/Titus County Line where the tornado finally
lifted.

Special thanks go out to the Texas Department of Emergency Management,
and the Camp County Office of Emergency Management for their assistance
in locating damage.

End Lat/Lon:            32.5406 / -94.22

Survey Summary:
This weak EF-1 tornado with peak winds of 90 mph began at Harkins
Lane and traveled eastward for approximately 1 mile just north of
FM 1998. Nearly all the damage was to softwood trees in the form
of uproots and snaps. The highest concentration of tree damage
was in the neighboring Scottsville and Rock Springs Cemeteries
near the start of the path. It is possible the tornado was on the
ground a bit longer than one mile, but the lack of ground access
hindered the ability of the severe team to confirm this. Fortunately
there were no injuries in association with this brief tornado and
the maximum width was only 100 yards.

Caddo Parish and generally moved east along Blanchard Furrh Road.
Most of the damage consisted of snapped and uprooted softwood
trees and a couple of snapped hardwood trees. A metal truss tower
and a pump station was bent in half to the ground. The tower
appeared to have been twisted from the north and then bent towards
the east. The tornado lifted just before the intersection of
Blanchard Furrh Road and Springwood Lane.

Survey Summary:
This brief EF1 tornado touched down in the North Highlands
neighborhood of North Shreveport. It initially began along Booth
Drive and move east snapping the trunks of a couple of hardwood
trees and downing large limbs from softwood trees. A few metal
roof panels were also removed from an outbuilding LA Hwy
3049/Dixie Shreveport Road. The tornado end point is placed here
as no additional damage was located. Much of the land between
this point and the Red River consisted of open fields. No
consistent damage track was located east of the Red River in
Bossier Parish.

.Tornado #5: Southwest Claiborne Parish, LA Tornado...

Rating:                 EF1
Estimated Peak Wind:    110 mph
Path Length /statute/:  1.98 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   300 yards
Fatalities:             0
Injuries:               0

Start Date:             03/04/2025
Start Time:             10:06 AM CST
Start Location:         6 NE Dubberly / Claiborne Parish / LA
Start Lat/Lon:          32.6138 / -93.163

End Date:               03/04/2025
End Time:               10:07 AM CST
End Location:           6 WSW Athens / Claiborne Parish / LA
End Lat/Lon:            32.6313 / -93.1397

Survey Summary:
This brief EF-1 touched down just to the west of Harris Rd in
southwestern Claiborne Parish. On the other side of the street,
several structures had damage, with two of them being damaged from
fallen trees. Surrounding snapped power poles and trees fallen on
top of each other gave the survey team confidence that the damage
was tornadic. The prevalence of damage in the area allowed the
maximum track width of 300 yards to be calculated. The tornado
continued east and caused more tree damage. After crossing Old
Arcadia Rd, the tornado shifted to a more northeastern track
before going into an area of cut-down trees. The lack of damage
indicators and accessible roads prevented any tornado path from
being followed. The path was picked up again just to the southeast
of Kemp Rd where there was an area of soft and hardwood trees
snapped and uprooted. The convergence of these fallen trees led
the team to believe this was the continued tornado track rather
than a separate area of straight line wind damage. The on-ground
track decreased quickly after this area of trees, which was
consistent with the weakening of the tornadic radar signature.
This tornado had a track of 2 miles and a max wind speed of 110
mph. There was more tree damage outside of the tornado track, 
which was likely due to straight line damaging winds on the 
southern edge of the tornadic circulation.

.Tornado #6: Six Mile, TX Tornado...

Survey Summary:
This strong EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near
105 mph touched down in the Sabine National Forest along Forest
Road 144, where numerous softwood trees were snapped and
uprooted. The heaviest concentration of damage was near the
intersection of Forest Road 144 and Forest Road 144A, where the
tornado was strongest and widest. This tornado tracked northeast
across inaccessible areas of the forest, before crossing Highway
87 just south of the Six Mile community. Numerous additional
softwood trees were snapped and uprooted between Forest Road
182 and Shawnee Shores Drive, before lifting within a cove in
Toledo Bend Reservoir along Shawnee Shores Drive. This tornado
track may be extended farther west of the current start point
based on future areal surveys by the U.S. Forest Service. 

Special thanks goes out to the U.S. Forest Service for their
assistance in locating the damage.
