MARCH 25 2009 SEVERE WEATHER

Overview

The first day in a three-day series of widespread severe weather across southwest Louisiana began when a squall line of severe thunderstorms developed across central Texas during the evening hours on 3/25/09. The squall line moved rapidly eastward across Southeast Texas and Louisiana during the late evening hours on 3/25/09 and early morning hours of 3/26/09. The resulting widespread severe winds, with embedded intense microbursts, caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage throughout the region.
