Survey Summary:

A slow moving supercell thunderstorm moving across southern Caddo
and Bossier Parishes on the evening of May 22nd produced a very
brief and relatively weak tornado in southern Bossier Parish just
on the north side of Highway 527, just west of Red Chute Bayou. The
tornado was most intense crossing over Cedar Street on the north
side of Highway 527 where a carport was ripped off a single family
residence, a metal building system had a door collapsed in, and an
outbuilding had its roof blown off to the north. In addition, many
trees were uprooted or had their trunks snapped in this general area.
Other tree damage occurred elsewhere in the short path of the
tornado with scattered signs of the typical damage convergence
associated with tornadoes along its length.
