BURR FERRY TORNADO

The Burr Ferry tornado began along the Texas/Louisiana border and snapped or uprooted numerous trees as it moved east-northeastward across Highway 111 just south of Burr Ferry.  Trees and mobile homes continued to be damaged as the tornado crossed Highway 464 about 2 miles south of its intersection with Highway 8.  Although the tornado was heading directly for Leesville, it luckily dissipated before reaching the city.
