Few discrepancies to note:
1. The official Storm Prediction Center (SPC) rating of this tornado is F3. Thomas Grazulis in Significant Tornadoes believes the rating was F2. He mentions the tenant home was “frail”.
2. Parishes in the path: SPC lists Caldwell and Richland Parish. Storm Data adds Ouachita Parish. Grazulis only has Caldwell. The SPC coordinates go through both Caldwell and Richland. The Storm Data summary states, “the storm moved on into Richland Parish, but no further damages reported.” Since there was no damage in Richland Parish and the path didn’t cross into Ouachita Parish, we agree with Grazulis that only Caldwell Parish should be in the path.
3. The SPC have a 38 mile path through the two parishes listed above. Storm Data lists a 35 mile path. Grazulis has a 10 mile path. That seems more plausible since damage was limited to in and around the Corey area in Caldwell Parish only.
