Population over time
2 figuresWarrington grew from 14,531 to 15,218 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate, and an estimate published within five years of a census is left out. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

The tornado began around 1010 am CDT and lasted for about fifteen minutes.|The storm probably started as a waterspout over the Bay. Damage first began along the water just northeast of Pensacola Naval Air Station (just south of Silvershore drive). Minor damage occurred in this area. The storm tracked northeast over the water just parallel to the shore and moved ashore near the old Bayou Chico drawbridge. Several homes in this area suffered roof damage. Several boats were flipped over in this area as there are several boat storage facilities located near the water.|The tornado moved northeast and crossed Garden street near E street. Minor tree and power line damage occurred along this track. The tornado started causing a little more damage near Gregory and D streets as this is a more populated area. The tornado continued tracking northeast and crossed Cervantes near A street and continued northeast and crossed Highway 29 near Mallory street. Most of the home and church damage occurred along the track from B to Barcelona streets. A couple of homes near Jackson street were heavily damaged and a church on A street had part of its roof taken off. Four minor injuries also happened in this area. A daycare center in the church had been alerted to a tornado and had taken cover several minutes before the tornado hit.|After crossing Highway 29 the storm crossed I-110 just north of the pool and started tracking a little more to the north northeast and crossed Davis near the ball fields. Mostly tree and power line damage occurred along this track. The ball fields had bleachers turned over and power lines down.|The storm continued to the north northeast and crossed Ninth avenue near Texar drive and crossed Bayou boulevard near the Target store and eventually dissipated near Cordova mall. Most of the damage from the ball fields to Target was tree damage and minor roof damage. Thirty cars in the Target parking lot were totally destroyed. Very little damage occurred to the store. Across the street, Office Depot suffered roof damage. Part of the mall had skylights damaged and this allowed water to fall into part of the mall.
