| November 2005 | Tornado (F1) | Bear | - | A weak tornado touched down briefly about 2 miles north of the town of Bear. Winds were estimated to be around 80 mph. It appears the tornado formed on a slope leading down to Lake Ouachita. Damage along the path of the tornado consisted of uprooted and snapped trees along a hillside, with boat docks pushed outward away from shore. The pushing caused the dock moorings, which are normally vertical, to lean. The tornado likely went into Lake Ouachita as a waterspout for a brief period of time before dissipating about 3 miles north-northeast of Bear. |
