Flora Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey in Natchitoches Parish and found evidence of an EF2 tornado. Maximum winds are estimated at 110-120 mph in the tornado. The tornado first touched down north of Flora along Hwy. 120 and headed north east snapping and uprooting trees. The tornado crossed and eventually paralleled Hwy. 478 just south of Natchitoches snapping trees and powerlines and knocking a tree into a brick home. The tornado knocked down powerlines onto Hwy. 1 and ripped up trees eastward along Lateral Road where one mobile home was moderately damaged by falling trees. The tornado weakened slightly as it crossed the Cane River and knocked over a few trees. The track continued eastward across the Red River into Winn Parish near the intersection of Hwy 71 and 477.
