An EF-1 tornado with maximum estimated winds of 95-105 mph initially touched down as a waterspout on Caddo Lake before moving ashore as a tornado at the Earl G. Williamson Park on the south side of Oil City, where it sheared the tops off of several trees and uprooted a large hardwood tree near the shore. The tornado moved over the playground, where it tore a metal roof off of the metal office building at the park and carried portions of the roof into some nearby power lines. The tornado crossed Highway 1 snapping and uprooting severe more trees, and moved over heavily wooded areas near South Land Avenue where additional large branches were downed. The tornado crossed Highway 538 and Texaco Road where several pine trees were uprooted, before moving back over heavily wooded areas and lifting west of Hart Road.
