Oak Ridge Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A swath of damaging winds occurred as a supercell moved across portions of Morehouse Parish. Six power lines and several trees were blown down, along with a large oak tree blown down onto a house just south of Oak Ridge. The wind also took the roof off of a barn and pushed a tree down on the same property to the east northeast of Oak Ridge.
There is some uncertainty where this tornado first touched down and dissipated due to a number of farm fields and limited damage. Based on radar information and surrounding evidence, it was determined that it started in a field. The greatest damage occurred near the intersection of School House Lane and Sidney White Rd. A well-structured home had significant roof damage, and a playhouse and shed were completed destroyed. On the University of Louisiana-Monroe radar, a tornadic debris signature was visible near this home. A number of uprooted trees were sporadically down around the edge of the circulation and were probably caused by straight line winds. On Hwy 425, north of Oak Ridge, a few power poles had to be replaced. This is where it was determined that the tornado dissipated. The maximum wind speeds with this tornado were 95 mph.
