On the evening of 28 March 2000, two tornados struck Fort Worth,
Arlington, and Grand Prairie, Texas. The Fort Worth Tornado touched
down west of the city, and moved through the downtown area. The
tornado was rated an F2 on the Fujita scale at its strongest
point. The Arlington tornado started as an F3, and varied from F2 to
F0 throughout its 6.5 mile track. The damages from these tornados was
estimated at $450 million in the Fort Worth area. 5 F2's, and 8
F0-F1's. While southern Louisiana's annual average for tornados is 13
(1950-1995), it hosted 12 tornados on 1-2 January. All of the tornados
were indicated by WSR-88D radars in Lake Charles and Fort Polk,
Louisiana. The average lead time was an impressive 24 minutes. There
was one fatality in Texas, but, given the severity of the outbreak and
the fact that it happened overnight, it is fortunate that there were
not more people injured or killed.
