The Louisiana Death Strip was by far the most deadly and violent tornado in the outbreak, touching down in Winn Parish at around 6:59 PM. Residents in the area did not think about taking shelter due to them believing the tornado was much farther away then it actually was. A person would think the tornado was 45 miles away from them when in actuality they were 4.5 miles from the violent tornado. Due to this carelessness, many lives were lost in a variety of different ways, some very horrific such as being sucked out of a closet and thrown from their homes. The tornado also looked very small, tricking some citizens into thinking it was a much weaker tornado then it actually was. 3 tornadoes struck before this one, all EF0 or EF1 and there would be 1 EF3 after the Louisiana Death Strip. This tornado also took the most lives out of all of the tornadoes in the outbreak.
