In Ouachita County, the tornado tore part of the roof off a house, damaged a church roof, and caused trees to fall on four houses. The tornado then moved through a trailer park, where falling trees destroyed nine of the homes and caused major damage to three others. Otherwise, hundreds of trees were blown down, as were a number of power lines. The tornado then exited Ouachita County in East Camden and moved into the Calhoun County portion of the same town. |
