Rain and a Tornado Affect the Area during November 8, 2011
A cold front moved through East Texas and Louisiana during the evening hours of November 8th and
morning of the 9th with much needed rainfall occurring ahead of the boundary as thunderstorms moved
through. Rainfall totals where highest across portions of Hardin and Tyler Counties where multiple storms
passed as noted with the hottest colors in the storm total precipitation graphic below from the KLCH radar.
Some of the higher observed totals…
Southeast Texas…
Wildwood 6.75” Lumberton 1.2”
Orange 9N 1.4” Steinhagen Lake 1.05”
Louisiana…
Leland Bowman Lock 2.6” Salt Water Barrier 1.53”
Moss Bluff 1.96” Oberlin 1.47”
Old Town Bay 1.85” Jeanerette 5NW 1.36”
Oakdale 1.7” Oberlin Fire Tower 1.32”
Bunkie 1.67” Kinder 1.1”
Deridder 4SE 1.53” Sam Houston Jones SP 1.1”
Going into Tuesday severe weather was also a concern. The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK had
portions of the area highlighted as a slight risk for severe weather a couple of days prior to the 8th with high
winds being the highest concern followed by tornadoes and hail. As the cold front moved closer to the
region SPC placed the area under a tornado watch that was eventually expanded east and extended until
1AM on the 9th . One tornado was noted in Newton County near Call southeast of Kirbyville. This tornado
was classified as an EF1 which is the strongest one to affect the county since November 23, 2004. The last
tornado that occurred in Newton County was on April 27, 2009.
The tornado first touched down south of Call shortly before 8PM and traveled approximately 4.35 miles and
was roughly 150 yards wide when it crossed highway 82 northwest of Trout Creek. Minor damage was
noted to a store and barn on Farm to Market Road 1004 and to a fence along Highway 87 with all other
damage done to trees.
The following are pictures of trees along Highway 82 in the Siecke State Forest.

Jeff Masters on the 11/7 Oklahoma tornado:

November 7 Tipton, Oklahoma tornado rated an EF-4
The powerful tornado that hit Tipton, Oklahoma on November 7 has been rated an EF-4 by the National Weather Service. The Tipton tornado hit two Oklahoma Mesonet stations and destroyed them; the Tipton mesonet site measured winds of 86.4 mph and the Fort Cobb site measured winds of 91.4 mph before destruction. The tornado was one of a family of six spawned that day by the parent supercell thunderstorm. The Tipton tornado is the first November EF-4 tornado in Oklahoma's history, and one of only twenty EF-4 or stronger November tornadoes observed in the U.S. since 1950, according to the Tornado History Project. There have been twelve December EF-4 tornadoes and two December EF-5 tornadoes observed in the U.S. since 1950. The confirmed tornado count for 2011 is 1543, putting this year in third place so far for most tornadoes, behind the 1692 tornadoes observed in 2004 and 1817 tornadoes in 2008. By the time the year ends, 2011 should wind up with 1600 - 1700 confirmed tornadoes.


Figure 2. Time series showing the weather at the Fort Cobb, OK mesonet station during passage of the November 7, 2011 Tipton tornado. A wind gust of 91.4 mph and pressure spike down to 946 mb occurred during the tornado's passage. Image credit: NWS/Norman Oklahoma.
