Benton and Bossier are tornado magnets.
If you don't think tornados are powerful, Cotton Valley in Northwest La was a boom town and was hit by what had to be at least an F4 in the late 50s and never recovered. The down town was wiped out and there were numerous fatalities.
It is a sad place 50 years later.
Big tornados cause generational problems.
Minden was hit in the early 1900s and moved the entire damn town rather than rebuilding along Dorcheat.

Gilliam is a small town in the middle of cornfields north of Shreveport. Even though it is isolated, it always felt like there was more going on there at some point. I didn't know they had a bad one as well.

Let's all pray or hope for no long track wedges tomorrow.

The Phil Cambell/Hackleburg Tornado may be the most underrated tornado in decades. It was overshadowed by the Tuscaloosa tornado because of photogenic nature of the latter and population center. But it was a beast. It killed 72 people in relatively lower population areas.
If it had been a little further East, it could have rivaled or eclipsed Joplin.
Yet, most know nothing of it.
It's the big, large wedges, where the entire meso seems to sit down, that are the worst. They ain't photogenic, but they are bad.

Yeah, I agree. There were a number of tornadoes stronger than the Tuscaloosa one, which after looking at the devastation, that's hard to believe.
Here's a photo from near Philadelphia, MS from that day that shows where the asphalt was ripped up:

That's crazy.

Since it is virtually the 3 year anniversary of the April 27, 2011 outbreak of tornadoes, here's is an aerial photo of Tuscaloosa, clearly showing the path of the tornado from that day.
For you football fans, you can see Bryant - Denny Stadium just to the north of the line of destruction.

I was reading a research article the other day and it had pictures from 4.27.11 of culverts ripped out of the ground. The number of violently strong tornadoes on that day was just crazy.

I believe it.. The lighting that day was something I will never forget on my ride home. It was like a movie.
