EF1 tornado in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana

A brief 90MPH EF1 tornado touched down near Cutt Pointe Drive and moved northeast before lifting near Michael Lane. Three manufactured homes were damaged which were the focus of the 90 MPH EF1 rating. One was abandoned and not strapped down and was rolled. The other was also not strapped down and it flew into the third. For that one, the base was strapped down but due to the walls not being well connected to the base and the debris flying into it, the resulting rating was 90 MPH. Otherwise, shingle and siding damage and tree damage were observed. There were 3 injuries with this tornado.

A strong upper level trough ejected over the Southern Plains which caused rapid surface cyclogenesis to occur in southeast Texas. This surface low traversed across central and northern Louisiana. The rapid development of the surface low gave way to very high shear values, and with enough instability, a line of thunderstorms formed along its cold front. A couple of brief tornadoes occurred with the line in Pointe Coupee and Terrebonne Parishes. The Pointe Coupee Parish tornado resulted in 3 injuries. Otherwise, damaging wind gusts were noted with the line due to the extreme shear. The line exited southeast Louisiana in the early morning hours of the 25th.
