NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PERSONNEL IN MEMPHIS ALONG WITH COORDINATION FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LITTLE ROCK HAVE COMPLETED THEIR SURVEY OF THE TORNADO DAMAGE ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS...THE BOOTHEEL OF MISSOURI AND NORTHWEST TENNESSEE.

AS WELL AS DUNKLIN AND PEMISCOT COUNTIES IN MISSOURI. IT APPEARS THAT THE PARENT SUPERCELL FIRST PRODUCED A TORNADO THAT TOUCHED DOWN JUST WEST OF RAVENDEN IN SHARP COUNTY ARKANSAS AND THEN MOVED INTO RAVENDEN (LAWRENCE COUNTY) AS AN F0 TORNADO WITH A 200 YARD PATH. SEVERAL WOODEN AND METAL SHEDS WERE DESTROYED...ALONG WITH A ROOF OF AN OLDER HOUSE BLOWN OFF. FROM THERE THE TORNADO APPEARED TO MOVE THROUGH IMBODEN AND THEN SKIPPED ON ITS WAY TO JUST SOUTH OF POCAHONTAS. F1 DAMAGE WAS OBSERVED ONE MILE SOUTH OF POCAHONTAS NEAR ROAD 67 AND ARKANSAS 90...WITH A WIDTH OF 300 YARDS. SEVERAL HOMES WERE DAMAGED WITH ONE ROOF COMPLETELY GONE. FROM THAT POINT THE TORNADO REMAINED ON THE GROUND AS IT MOVED EAST TOWARD LAFE...WITH GENERALLY F0 TO F1 DAMAGE OBSERVED ALONG THE PATH. AS THE TORNADO MOVED INTO LAFE IT BEGAN TO WIND UP AND PRODUCED F1 TO F3 DAMAGE UNTIL THE TORNADO REACHED MARMADUKE.
