The SPC further defines significant severe thunderstorms as any storm that produce one or more of the following elements:

A tornado that produces EF2 or greater damage.
Wind speeds of 75 mph (65 knots) or greater.
Hail 2 inch in diameter or larger.

Keep us updated on that warned storm east of Carthage. I'm out at lunch but if I'm looking at the right area in radar, that could be moving into Shreveport in a bit.
