Claim: Eleven tornados went through Louisiana and Arkansas in the 1978 Bossier City tornado outbreak one touched down in Shreveport and another in the Xentral Park division then crossed I20 and caused wide spread damage.
Evidence: At 1:50 a.m. the tornado may have touched down just south of downtown Shreveport, causing damage, though post-storm analysis suggested that this was likely related to downburst activity. The circulation then crossed into the Central Park subdivision in western central Bossier City and made full contact with the ground.
