SURVEY SUMMARY:
AN EF-0 TORNADO CROSSED CROCHETVILLE RD NEAR MONTEGUT, LA. THIS
TORNADO COULD HAVE STARTED MUCH EARLIER THAN CURRENTLY INDICATED,
BUT THE PATH WAS INACCESSIBLE TO THE GROUND SURVEY TEAM AND NO
ADDITIONAL DAMAGE REPORTS WERE RECEIVED. A SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO ON
HWY 55 NEAR VICTOR LE BOEUF ST SAW VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF ROTATING
WINDS AS DEBRIS WAS TOSSED IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ON THE OUTER
EDGE OF THE TORNADO'S CIRCULATION. THIS DAMAGE PATH IS
PRELIMINARY AND ADDITIONAL REVISIONS COULD OCCUR AFTER REVIEW OF
AERIAL IMAGERY, ONCE IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

WATERSPOUT, BUT ADDITIONAL AERIAL IMAGERY WILL BE NEEDED TO
CONFIRM THIS AS IT WAS INACCESSIBLE TO GROUND SURVEY. THE TORNADO
WAS AT PEAK INTENSITY WEST OF LEMIEUX BLVD WHERE GROUND SURVEYORS
OBSERVED A FEW SNAPPED TREES ON CANE BAYOU ACCESS TRAIL. THE
TORNADO UPROOTED AND PARTIALLY SNAPPED TREES AS IT CROSSED THE
TAMMANY TRACE BIKE TRAIL. THE TORNADO BEGAN TO EVIDENTLY WEAKEN

WIDESPREAD BRANCHES AND TREE DEBRIS WAS FOUND IN EDEN ISLE ALONG
WITH A FEW HOUSES WITH MINOR DAMAGE. ONE HOUSE HAD A FAILURE AT
THE GARAGE WHERE THE WIND LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO THE
GARAGE. THE TORNADO DAMAGED BUSINESSES RIGHT NEAR I-10 AS IT
CROSSED OVER WITH A FEW MORE HOMES DAMAGED AND TREES DOWN IN
LAKESHORE VILLAGE. THE WIDESPREAD LIGHT DAMAGE ACROSS EDEN ISLE
DID MAKE THIS A DIFFICULT TRACK, ESPECIALLY TRACK WIDTH, TO FIND.
THE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS LIKELY INFLOW FROM STRAIGHT LINE WINDS
AND/OR DEBRIS THAT WAS SWIRLING OUT OF THE TORNADO.

END LAT/LON: 30.2957 / -89.6005
SURVEY SUMMARY:
NWS GROUND SURVEY CONFIRMED AN EF-1 TORNADO WITH MAXIMUM
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 105 MPH TRACKED FROM TREASURE ISLE IN
SOUTHEAST ST. TAMMANY PARISH TO RURAL PARTS OF SOUTHWEST HANCOCK
COUNTY, NORTH OF PEARLINGTON. THE TORNADO BEGAN NEAR OR BEFORE
MOVING INTO TREASURE ISLE WHERE IT FLIPPED A LARGE BOAT ON ITS
SIDE. ADDITIONAL VISIBLE DAMAGE TO HOMES AND LOFTING OF OUTDOOR
FIXTURES WAS NOTED AS THE TORNADO MOVED INTO MARTIN DRIVE. THE
TORNADO REACHED EF-1 INTENSITY NEAR BLUEGILL DRIVE WHERE IT
REMOVED SHINGLES OFF OF HOMES, SNAPPED A FEW TREES, AND COLLAPSED
GARAGE DOOR STRUCTURES AND BLEW OUT A WALL OR TWO AS A RESULT IN
TWO DIFFERENT HOMES. A DEFINED DAMAGE PATH WAS OBSERVED ON LA HWY
433 AND THEN CROSSED INTO INACCESSIBLE MARSH AREAS. A WEAK TORNADO
DEBRIS SIGNATURE WAS EVIDENT ON KHDC AND IS THE BASIS FOR
CONNECTING THIS DAMAGE TO AVERY ESTATES. THE TORNADO CONTINUED
NORTHEAST INTO AVERY ESTATES WHERE MINOR METAL ROOF DAMAGE AND
TREE DAMAGE WAS NOTED ON AVERY DRIVE AND SMOKEY HOLLOW DRIVE. THE
TORNADO EVIDENTLY STRENGTHENED AND GREW IN SIZE TO AROUND
300 YARDS IN WIDTH AS IT MOVED JUST SOUTH OF THE NORTHERN PART OF
AVERY DRIVE AND INTO US HWY 190 WHERE NUMEROUS TREES WERE
UPROOTED OR SNAPPED. SEVERAL OUTBUILDINGS WERE DAMAGED AND
TENSION CABLES ON A CELL TOWER WERE SNAPPED. IT'S POSSIBLE THE
TORNADO SLOWED IN THIS AREA AS IT PIVOTED AND TURNED MORE TO THE
EAST PER KHDC RADAR IMAGERY. ALONG US HWY 190 A MANUFACTURED HOME
HAD MOST OF ITS ROOF REMOVED AND IT WAS SHIFTED SIGNIFICANTLY OFF
ITS FOUNDATION. THE TORNADO THEN MOVED INTO PEARL RIVER BASIN,
INACCESSIBLE TO GROUND SURVEY. THE TORNADO EVIDENTLY MAINTAINED
STRENGTH OR EVEN STRENGTHENED FURTHER OVER THIS AREA, EVIDENCED
BY THE DEEPENING OF A TORNADO DEBRIS SIGNATURE LOFTED OVER
5000 FEET. TREE DAMAGE WAS FOUND BY GROUND SURVEY TEAM ON RURAL
ROADS OF SOUTHWEST HANCOCK COUNTY AS THE TORNADO BEGAN TO WEAKEN
AND LIFT BACK TO THE NORTHEAST. THE TORNADO IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE
LIFTED NEAR OR AFTER POINT ROAD PRIOR TO REACHING MS HWY 607.

WIDESPREAD ALONG THE TRACK INCLUDING SEVERAL LARGE TREES UPROOTED
AND SNAPPED. MINOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO SEVERAL PROPERTIES. THE
TORNADO LIKELY CONTINUED FURTHER NORTHEAST SINCE THE SURVEY TEAM
WAS LIMITED BY FLOODED ROADWAYS AND HEAVILY FORESTED AREAS.

SURVEY SUMMARY:
AN EF0 TORNADO WITH WINDS OF 85 MPH TRACKED NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS
ARABI, LA IN ST. BERNARD PARISH. THIS WAS CONFIRMED VIA
EYEWITNESS VIDEOS, ALONG WITH DEBRIS THROWN TO THE SE AND
CONVERGENT DEBRIS IN THAT DIRECTION. ALMOST ALL OF THE DAMAGE WAS
SHINGLES OFF WELL BUILT HOMES, FENCE DAMAGE AND LARGE BRANCHES
DOWN. THREE HOUSES HAD A GOOD PART OF THEIR ROOF REMOVED. TWO
WERE OLDER HOUSES, ONE BUILT IN THE 50S. ONE HOUSE HAD A CAR PORT
ATTACHED TO THE ROOF WHICH IS WHERE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE
THIRD WAS ABANDONED AND NEIGHBORS CONFIRMED IT ALSO HAD EXTENSIVE
TERMITE DAMAGE. THAT AND ROT WAS OBSERVED ON THE ROOF. GIVEN THAT
WELL BUILT HOMES HAD MINOR DAMAGE AND THE DAMAGE ON THE THREE
HOUSES WERE FROM OLDER ROOFS, THE RATING IS AN 85 MPH EF0.
EF SCALE: THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE CLASSIFIES TORNADOES INTO THE
FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:
EF0.....65 TO 85 MPH
EF1.....86 TO 110 MPH
