The National Weather Service now confirms fifteen tornadoes touched down on Thursday, June 18th and Friday, June 19th. None of the tornadoes were stronger than an EF1.
When looking back at past tropical weather events, Arthur’s remnants will likely be remembered for one of the more robust tornado outbreaks in recent memory.
These are the official reports of each tornado according to the National Weather Service.

End Location: 3 N Pearlington / Hancock County / MS
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 it
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.

Survey Summary:
A NWS survey team concluded that an EF-1 tornado tracked
northeast across Hancock and Harrison counties. Tree damage was
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.

End Lat/Lon: 29.9631 / -89.9914
Survey Summary:
An EF0 tornado with winds of 85 MPH tracked northwest to
southeast across Arabi, LA. 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.

End Lat/Lon: 30.226 / -89.7509
A brief EF0 tornado touched down in Eden Isle, LA and moved east.
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 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.

Survey Summary: NWS ground survey confirmed an EF-1 tornado touched down near Bayou Cane and moved northeast across US Hwy 190 west of Lacombe, LA in St. Tammany Parish. It’s likely the tornado touched down near the shore of Lake Pontchartrain or came ashore as a tornadic waterspout, but additional aerial imagery will be needed to confirm this as it was inaccessible to ground survey and the start time and locations along with path length may need to be updated. 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 as it approached and crossed US Hwy 190 causing only minor tree damage north of the highway. The tornado is estimated to have lifted near Azalea Ln and Cane Bayou Ln.
Tornado #12…
Santa Cruz Ct, Luling, LA…
Rating: EF0
Estimated Peak Wind: 70 mph
Path Length /statute/: 0.18 miles
Path Width /maximum/: 25 yards
Survey Summary: NWS ground survey confirmed a brief EF-0 tornado tracked in the vicinity of Santa Cruz Ct in Luling, LA. Though only minor tree damage was noted by the ground surveyor, it was collocated with a well-defined tornado debris signature, and it’s probable that the tornado was weakening and dissipating during this portion of the track. Additional revisions of this track into inaccessible areasof rural St. Charles Parish, south of Blouin Canal, are possible after further analysis of aerial imagery in the coming weeks.
Tornado #13…
Montegut, LA Tornado
Rating: EF0
Estimated Peak Wind: 75 mph
Path Length /statute/: 0.17 miles
Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards
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.

Survey Summary: An EF-0 tornado touched down near Megan Drive, off of Coteau Rd, in northeast Terrebonne Parish. This tornado caused predominantly tree damage with some additional visible damage to a couple homes. It’s possible this tornado continued into Lafourche Parish although no additional damage was identified nor reported near Bayou Blue Rd. This damage path is preliminary and additional revisions could occur after review of aerial imagery, once it becomes available.

End Time: 02:01 AM CDT
End Location: 3 ESE Des Allemands / St. Charles Parish / LA
End Lat/Lon: 29.8211 / -90.3868
Survey Summary:
A well-defined damage path of an EF-0 tornado was identified on
high-resolution satellite imagery over rural, inaccessible parts
of southeast St. Charles Parish. The tornado touched down near
Bayou des Allemands and tracked north-northwest over rural,
inaccessible marshland. While the majority of damage along this
path was marsh vegetation, a narrow swath of trees were evidently
damaged/displaced which is the basis for its EF-0 rating. The
tornado continued north-northwest with the narrow damage path
becoming less defined with time. The tornado dissipated east of
Bayou Gauche after being on the ground for over 5 miles.
