Around 8:44 pm CST rotation along the line developed rapidly just east of the Red River and West of Louisiana State Highway 8, around Thompson Road. A tornado quickly touched down, initially damaging a large hardwood tree where multiple branches were downed before then damaging a barn where a significant portion of the metal roofing was torn off and blown downstream towards the highway. Additional debris from the roof and some large branches were then found just east of Louisiana State Highway 8 before the tornado lifted and the line of severe thunderstorms continued eastward.",
