How many people were hurt or killed during the strongest tornado ever to hit Louisiana?

Since record keeping began in 1950 the strongest tornado to hit Louisiana, an F5 in the Delhi area on February 21, 1971 killed 47 and injured 510. However, only 11 of the deaths and 18 of the injuries were in Louisiana. The rest were in Mississippi, as the tornado crossed the state line. Other tornadoes prior to 1950 may have been stronger in Louisiana, but accurate records do not exist for that time.
