The tornado first touched down in the vicinity of west Espy Street and Robinson Avenue. Some minor tree limb damage was noted, with some sheet metal damage to buildings in this area, including roof damage to one structure between west Espy Street and U.S. Route 68. Damage was more significant and concentrated in a neighborhood near Detroit Street and Main Street, especially between Railroad Street and Letson Street. Numerous trees and large limbs were downed and numerous homes and garages had at least some minor roof or fascia damage. The winds were likely the strongest just north of Letson Street, where one garage was flattened and another outbuilding had its roof and second floor removed. Debris from these structures could be found at least a quarter mile downstream. Winds at this location were estimated to be about 90 mph. Additional tree damage and minor structural damage was noted on the east side of Main Street, extending from near the Hardin County Sheriff's Office through Brumm Street.
Additional tree damage was observed on the north side of the Scioto River, near and south of Lick Street. This includes one grove of trees south of the end of Stevens Street, with several tree tops snapped off. The tornado then traversed an uninhabited area but minor tree damage was noted near the intersection of Bales Road and County Road 175. In addition, small pieces of insulation were found near this intersection and in the field to the east. This is where the tornado ended.
A lingering cold front, weak meso low and remnant outflow boundaries along with an environment displaying deep moisture and modest instability led to strong thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds and flooding across southeast South Carolina.

Multiple wildfires ignited across Southern Sabine Parish during the day on August 25, 2023, with a large wildfire affecting the Pirates Cove community in extreme Southwest Sabine Parish along Toledo Bend Reservoir just west of the Toro community. Over 200 acres burned from this fire, with 9 homes/structures lost in the fire but fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported. Multiple homes were evacuated in this community, before the fire was fully contained later that evening from multiple fire departments with assistance from dozers and helicopters from the Louisiana Dept. of Forestry.
This wildfire occurred within a broad area where exceptional (D4) drought conditions were observed during late-August, while daily high temperatures soared to well over 100 degrees and minimum relative humidity values dropped to near 20% or less. Although wind speeds were not particularly high, the combination of critically to extremely dry vegetation and very low relative humidity values provided nearly ideal conditions for rapid ignition and spreading of wildfires.

Wildfires occurred on the afternoon of August 14, 2023, near the Florien and Mount Carmel communities in southeast Sabine Parish. Approximately 2,100 acres along with eighteen structures were damaged or destroyed, including 10 residential homes. No injuries or fatalities were reported, and the wildfires were fully contained by later that evening. Evacuations were ordered for some residents along State Highway 118 and several other parish roads which were closed to traffic, and the Florien Civic Center was opened to evacuees. A command center was also set up at the Florien Fire Station where water and food was available for anyone displaced by the fires. It is suspected that the cause of the fires was a spark from a downed utility pole on Mt. Carmel Cutoff Road.
This wildfire occurred within a broad area where severe (D2) to extreme (D3) drought conditions were observed during mid-August, while daily high temperatures soared to well over 100 degrees and minimum relative humidity values dropped to near 20% or less. Although wind speeds were not particularly high, the combination of critically to extremely dry vegetation and very low relative humidity values provided nearly ideal conditions for rapid ignition and spreading of wildfires.
