On April 9, 2015, a powerful spring storm system brought severe weather to a large part of the Central United States including portions of the ArkLaTex. Severe thunderstorms first developed during the early afternoon and affected portions of Southern Arkansas. Additional storms developed west and southwest into East Texas. Several reports of possible tornado damage were received from two different thunderstorms. One storm produced damage from between Bullard, TX, and Jacksonville, TX, with several reports of damage coming from near Mixon, TX. A second storm affected the northeast side of Longview, TX, and tracked north of Hallsville, TX. A damage survey team from the National Weather Service office in Shreveport, LA, was deployed to investigate on April 10. Two EF1 tornadoes have been confirmed from Longview to north of Hallsville. An EF2 tornado was confirmed near the communities of Mount Selman and Mixon in northern Cherokee County. Details from the survey can be found below. The survey information should be considered preliminary and subject to change. |
