A tornado touched down near Hwy 51 and Roseland Ave where several trees were found uprooted and numerous large branches snapped in a wooded area. The tornado was estimated to be moving northeast at 45 mph. It tracked across Holloway Rd where several trees were found uprooted or snapped. Dozens of trees were uprooted or large branches snapped a quarter-mile southeast of Hwy 10 along East Russell Town Rd. The most concentrated damage was surveyed along Hwy 10 near Harden Ln where numerous trees were uprooted and multiple homes sustained significant damage. One double-wide manufactured home was lifted off their foundation blocks and the
roof torn. Windows were blown out on the north and east sides of the house. An outhouse on the property was destroyed and one of the wooden posts pierced through the front windshield of an SUV on the property. Another home sustained significant damage from a large uprooted tree that fell through the roof. There were multiple first-hand reports of debris being lofted as the tornado moved through. The tornado continued to track northeast but
observed damage was more sporadic (and difficult to access on the ground) in the last 2 miles of the 6-mile long track, before lifting near Rt 1054 and Bryce Hyde Rd. Based on the damage survey, the tornado was rated an EF-1 with peak estimated winds of 90 mph.

A waterspout over Lake Pontchartrain moved onshore near the outlet of Cane Bayou. As the tornado raced northeast at 50 to 60 mph, it snapped large limbs and tree tops on property surrounding the Rankin House on Cane Bayou. The tornado continued northeastward and snapped large limbs and uprooted a tree at a residence along U.S. Highway 190. The tornado quickly lifted at this point.
It should be noted how remarkably similar the track of this tornado is compared to one from just over a week ago. In fact, it's believed that the 2 tornado tracks are within about 100 yards of each other at most points south of U.S. Highway 190.
