What the National Weather Service wrote

Buoy station SHBL1 Shell Beach, LA measured a wind gust of 48 mph.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms triggered off of a convergent boundary during peak heating across southeast Mississippi and propagated southwestward across coastal Mississippi and southeast Louisiana during the afternoon and evening hours. Fueled by high instability and drier mid-level air, these storms quickly became severe and produced damaging winds in their path. The complex eventually made its way over the coastal waters where it finally dissipated.

Began near Shell Beach Station (shbl1) (29.8700, -89.6700).
