The worst of the damage, which was rated EF-1, was to a large metal shed that was destroyed and the roof was lofted into nearby trees and pushed hundreds of feet down the street. In addition, a 2x4 from this roof was driven straight into the roof of a nearby building. The tornado then likely lifted briefly, before touching down again and doing additional damage to large trees in a neighborhood along 15th and 16th Streets. The tornado then lifted and dissipated.

00:12Z EF2 KSHV TX Panola Dotson This is a continuation of the Southern Rusk County tornado. This tornado continued northeast towards Lake Murvaul, where it maintained EF1 intensity while snapping and uprooting numerous trees as it paralleled FM 1971. Upon reaching the lake, the tornado reached several residences along the shoreline where it increased in intensity as it snapped and uprooted more trees and damaged the shingles of many homes. By this time, the tornado had strengthened to an EF2, with estimated maximum winds of 115 mph. One person was injured at their residence on the shore of Lake Murvaul, while video of the tornado was recorded by a storm chaser as it crossed the lake. After downing trees which damaged several structures on the east shore of the lake, it weakened and produced more sporadic damage before lifting north-northwest of Gary City. A review of video, TDEM ground survey data, and Sentinel satellite data indicate that the tornado lifted for approximately 5 miles before it touched down again in Southern Panola County.
00:38Z EF2 KSHV TX Panola Carthage An EF2 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 125 mph touched down again from the same supercell thunderstorm that produced the tornado near and over Lake Murvaul in Southwest Panola County, with this tornado downing and uprooting about 10 hardwood and softwood trees along Highway 59 several miles south of Carthage. The tornado intensified as it tracked parallel to FM 2517 and ripped the roof off of a single family home. The tornado's damage path widened considerably as it moved between FM 2517 and County Road 405. Security footage from a local meat processing center in the Antioch community indicates that a multiple-vortex tornado developed as the storm continued and produced a wide swath of snapped trees north and south of FM 2517. ||Along County Road 405, the multiple-vortex tornado continued to completely destroy 3 metal outbuildings and shift another single family home off of its foundation. At this same location, the tornado tossed an antique vehicle 50 yards and wrapped sheet metal around approximately 10 trees. The tornado continued to snap large softwood trees along County Road 407, and as it crossed FM 699, it caused major roof damage to a brick home near the intersection of County Road 407 and County Road 408. A single-wide manufactured home utilizing a pan anchorage system was pulled free from the anchors and destroyed, with some of the debris blown a couple of hundred yards into a field to the east. ||Hundreds of trees were downed in an area along County Road 448. As the tornado crossed FM 31, a large outbuilding was destroyed, but portions of the wooden frame were anchored by bolts to the foundation and remained in place. In this same area, a large pine tree was uprooted and fell onto a single-wide manufactured home, killing a 46 year old woman with her husband suffering a head injury. Another tree fell onto a vehicle nearby and injured two additional people. The tornado continued northeast snapping and uprooting additional trees and it travelled north of FM 2517. It crossed County Road 470, County Road 471, and finally lifted just east of County Road 332.
01:08Z EF1 KSHV LA De Soto Kolter An EF1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 90 mph touched down on Holmes Road between Highway 168 and Highway 172, and tracked northeast across a heavily wooded area into extreme Southwest Caddo Parish northwest of Keachi near the end of Majestic Road. The damage consisted entirely of snapped and uprooted trees.
01:11Z EF1 KSHV LA Caddo Four Forks This is a continuation of the Northwest Desoto Parish EF1 tornado northwest of Keachi. This tornado, with estimated maximum winds near 90 mph, continued to track northeast along the Caddo/Desoto Parish line across an open field just south of Majestic Road, before lifting in a heavily wooded area just beyond the triple intersection of Majestic Road, Pluto Road, and Keatchie-Marshall Road. The damage consisted entirely of snapped and uprooted trees. During the survey, it was found that tree damage was found on both the Caddo and Desoto Parish sides of the parish line. The end point was determined to be in Caddo Parish as the damage indicators depicted stronger winds on the Caddo Parish side of the parish line on Keatchie-Marshall Road.
01:22Z EF1 KSHV LA De Soto Kickapoo An EF1 tornado with estimated maximum winds near 105 mph touched down in the North Desoto Estates subdivision in Stonewall, where two homes sustained moderate roof damage. The tornado continued northeast while crossing Highway 171 just north of the North Desoto Elementary/Middle/High School campus, where it crossed Ann Francis Drive. At this location, an attached garage of a home was completely destroyed after the tornadic winds compromised the garage door, removed the roof, and caused the collapse of the exterior brick walls, which were lightly mortared to the foundation. The roof was lifted nearly 30 feet into the air and thrown over a set of trees and into a field to the northeast. The remainder of the home was left relatively undamaged. The tornado continued east-northeast over open country snapping and uprooting numerous trees. It turned more to the northeast after crossing Interstate 49 and produced more consistent tree damage along Rodeo Drive just north of Stonewall-Frierson Road. Roofing was also peeled back from a small outbuilding at the north end of Rodeo Drive. The tornado continued to track northeast across a heavily wooded area before crossing the extreme southeast sections of Wallace Lake into extreme Southeast Caddo Parish.
