EF1 tornado in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana

A tornado touched down on Highway 90 and just south of Bayou

Gauche Road, peeling the roof off a house and a car port as well

as flipping a RV. Extensive tree damage was noted around the

property and to the northwest as well as debris thrown a

significant distance. North of Bayou Gauche Road, a church

complex had roof damage to most of the buildings as well as a

flipped RV. These buildings were noted to have also been damaged

from Ida, with blue tarps on the roofs still. One brand new roof,

though, did have notable damage to the southeast corner. As the

tornado moved northwest across Highway 90, mostly tree damage and

light structural damage, such as shingles and siding damage, were

noted before the tornado quickly lifted.

A surface low developed in southeast Texas early November 26th and tracked northeast towards central Arkansas throughout the day. At the same time, a cold front tracked across western Louisiana while a warm front lifted north across southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi. Moisture rich unstable air within this warm sector over the local area provided the environment to support a few severe thunderstorms. Severe winds, a tornado and flash flooding occurred with this event.
