The tornado that moved through
Claiborne Parish Louisiana moved
northeast into Union County Arkansas.
The tornado first struck the community
of Junction City, Arkansas just north
of the Arkansas, Louisiana state line.
From the area surveyed, the tornado was
on the ground continuously from
touchdown to end. For the early part of
the track, the damage was confined to
minor damage to homes with numerous
trees downed from Junction City to near
Tatum Rd approximately 8 miles south of
El Dorado. In Junction City, two people
were injured when a tree fell on their
home as they were in bed. As the
tornado approached Tatum Rd, it appears
to have intensified significantly while
growing wider in its destruction. It
was through the area from Tatum Rd,
across Hwy 7 and into the vicinity of
Rushwood Rd that the storm did its
greatest damage. Numerous homes, both
mobile and well constructed frame homes
were either destroyed or heavily
damaged. A number of vehicles were
rolled and tossed through the air,
landing several yards from their
initial location. It was in the area of
Tatum Rd through Rushwood Rd that two
fatalities occurred, both of them
elderly residents. The majority of the
injuries also occurred in this area.
After leaving the Rushwood Rd area, the
storm began to weaken and decreasing in
path width. Except for minor structural
damage to buildings in Lawson, trees
downed or broken was the main damage
for the latter part of the track.

In Cairo, 15 County Roads closed due
to flooding. Eighteen Fire companies
pumped out basements throughout
county. A potent area of low pressure
and its associated frontal systems,
moved northeast across the Ohio and
Saint Lawrence Valleys on the 28th of
March, bringing with it a significant
amount of moisture. Since it took a
more western track than previous
storms earlier in the month, almost
all of the precipitation fell as rain.
Rainfall totals, averaging 1-2 inches,
but locally as high as 4 inches,
accumulated across portions of the
eastern New York and adjacent western
New England. This rainfall, combined
with snow melt, produced signficant
runoff, resulting in widespread
flooding across the region between
March 28th through 31st. Many streams
and rivers reached or exceed bankful,
including the Mettawee, Housatonic and
Mohawk Rivers, as well as the Esopus,
Wappingers and Schoharie Creeks.
Numerous houses in Columbia and Greene
Counties sustained damage when their
basements became flooded, and there
were many reports of road closures
across a large number of counties. One
man in the city of Mechanicville,
Saratoga County, was transported to a
local hospital after being swept away
by floodwaters of the Anthony Kill. In
Columbia County, many towns reported
at least one road closed due to
flooding.

In Cairo, 15 County Roads closed due
to flooding. Eighteen Fire companies
pumped out basements throughout
county. A potent area of low pressure
and its associated frontal systems,
moved northeast across the Ohio and
Saint Lawrence Valleys on the 28th of
March, bringing with it a significant
amount of moisture. Since it took a
more western track than previous
storms earlier in the month, almost
all of the precipitation fell as rain.
Rainfall totals, averaging 1-2 inches,
but locally as high as 4 inches,
accumulated across portions of the
eastern New York and adjacent western
New England. This rainfall, combined
with snow melt, produced signficant
runoff, resulting in widespread
flooding across the region between
March 28th through 31st. Many streams
and rivers reached or exceed bankful,
including the Mettawee, Housatonic and
Mohawk Rivers, as well as the Esopus,
Wappingers and Schoharie Creeks.
Numerous houses in Columbia and Greene
Counties sustained damage when their
basements became flooded, and there
were many reports of road closures
across a large number of counties. One
man in the city of Mechanicville,
Saratoga County, was transported to a
local hospital after being swept away
by floodwaters of the Anthony Kill. In
Columbia County, many towns reported
at least one road closed due to
flooding.

Flood
In Cairo, 15 County Roads closed due
to flooding. Eighteen Fire companies
pumped out basements throughout
county. A potent area of low pressure
and its associated frontal systems,
moved northeast across the Ohio and
Saint Lawrence Valleys on the 28th of
March, bringing with it a significant
amount of moisture. Since it took a
more western track than previous
storms earlier in the month, almost
all of the precipitation fell as rain.
Rainfall totals, averaging 1-2 inches,
but locally as high as 4 inches,
accumulated across portions of the
eastern New York and adjacent western
New England. This rainfall, combined
with snow melt, produced signficant
runoff, resulting in widespread
flooding across the region between
March 28th through 31st. Many streams
and rivers reached or exceed bankful,
including the Mettawee, Housatonic and
Mohawk Rivers, as well as the Esopus,
Wappingers and Schoharie Creeks.
Numerous houses in Columbia and Greene
Counties sustained damage when their
basements became flooded, and there
were many reports of road closures
across a large number of counties. One
man in the city of Mechanicville,

by floodwaters of the Anthony Kill. In
