Hillsboro Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
The tornado started in the Bienville National Forest, just to the southwest of Federal Road 508A. As it crossed the road, it snapped and uprooted large numbers of pine trees. This was where the tornado reached its maximum intensity, EF-1 with 100 mph winds, and width of 400 yards. The tornado continued northeast, crossing Clifton Road. The tornado was narrower and somewhat weaker here, but was still topping numerous pine trees and uprooting several hardwood trees. The tornado then continued northeast and crossed Clifton-Hillsboro Road. Numerous trees were downed near a home along this road, and fences were damaged in a field behind the home. Several large pine trees were downed across the road, and power lines were downed as well. The tornado continued northeast as it weakened, downing a few trees and damaging a carport before diminishing at Hillsboro-Ludlow Road.
Several trees and power lines were blown down in the Clifton Community.
