What happened

At 1:24 a.m. CST on January 11, an EF2 tornado with winds near 135 mph touched down just south of Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, and tracked more than 40 miles northeast.1 South of Haughton it destroyed two manufactured homes and killed 3 people, and trees it brought down fell into homes in eastern Bossier Parish.1 At 1:07 a.m., straight-line winds near 91 knots (105 mph) broke light poles and business signs and peeled back metal roofing south of Benton. NOAA's Storm Events Database lists $1.3 million in damage there.2

At 3:48 a.m. an EF2 tornado with winds near 130 mph ran 23 miles past Benoit and northwest of Cleveland in Bolivar County, Mississippi, damaging well-built homes, destroying mobile homes and injuring 4 people.3 At 4:53 a.m. another EF2, with winds near 120 mph, damaged numerous homes northeast of Hernando. In all, 210 homes were damaged by tornadoes and straight-line winds across DeSoto County.4

Earlier, at 5:40 p.m. on January 10, golf ball size (1.75-inch) hail and wind on the east side of Springfield, Missouri, damaged hundreds of vehicles, and NOAA's Storm Events Database lists $1 million in damage.5 At 5:42 p.m. a tornado with winds up to 98 mph crossed Interstate 44 into Strafford, tearing roofing material from several homes.6
