This line of storms moved rapidly across southeast Louisiana during the daylight hours of the 27th. Numerous reports of thunderstorm wind damage were received, primarily downed trees and power lines. Several meso-cyclones embedded in the southern potion of the squall line spawned weak tornadoes.

Event Narrative: A weak tornado., along the leading edge of a squall line,  touched down at the levee of Duncan Canal north of West Esplanade Avenue. Two wooden power poles were bent near an apartment complex. The storm tracked to the east-southeast with mainly light tree damage, and one area of light roof damage on Grandlake Boulevard. The tornado then crossed Canal Number 17, and lifted the roof off of the back porch of a house on Tulane Drive. On the opposite side of Tulane Drive, another house had a small portion of its roof ripped off. The tornado continued to the east-southeast and crossed West Louisiana State Drive and bent over one wooden power pole, and snapped a second one. The tornado then uprooted a hardwood tree in front of a house on West Loyola. The most significant damage occurred at the corner of Loyola and West Esplanade, where multiple wooden power poles and a few trees were snapped. The tornado then quickly lifted as it crossed West Esplanade. In addition to the tornado, sporadic light tree damage occurred south of the track.

The tracks at the location of the damage were approximately 70 feet above the ground. A few trees were reported down and some awnings blown off buildings at Belle Chasse Naval Air Station. A few trees and large branches were also blown down in areas just east of the Naval Air Station. Several power poles were blown down by thunderstorm winds. Several trees and large limbs blown were down in scattered locations in New Orleans. A mesocyclone embedded in the squall line produced a weak tornado. Small trees were uprooted in a field west of Louisiana Highway 306, producing EF-0 damage. Path width was 25 yards wide at this point. The tornado quickly moved to the east-southeast and crossed Highway 306 between Mark and Matthew Streets, where additional large tree branches were snapped from numerous trees. Minor damage to roof coverings was noted along Mark and Matthew Streets. Power poles were also leaning south of Matthew Street. The damage path was 50 yards wide at this point and EF-0 damage was noted. The tornado continued east-southeast, and moved across Shamrock Drive at Edna Street. A home had siding removed and some shingles removed. Trees were also damaged along Edna Street. The tornado was 50 yards wide and produced EF-0 damage along Edna and Shamrock Streets. There was additional tree damage observed beyond the levee behind Shamrock Street, but due to lack of access, this is where the end point of the tornado is noted.
