End Time: 07:15 AM CDT
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.

End Lat/Lon: 30.5757 / -89.2767
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.
Tornado #9…
Rating: EF0
Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph
Path Length /statute/: 0.65 miles
Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards
Fatalities: 0

End Time: 05:58 PM CDT
End Location: 2 NW Chalmette / St. Bernard Parish / LA
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.
