A tornado touched down along Riverside Road south of Interstate 10 and south of Bamboo Road where hardwood trees were uprooted. The path continued northeast and crossed the interstate and Evangeline Highway. Along Evangeline Highway a small trailer was flipped. The tornado then crossed Riverside Road again damaging 4 homes, a pick-up truck, motorcycle, fencing, and downing 3 power poles. Of the homes damaged, two had roof damage, a trailer was moved off the blocks, and one was destroyed. The home that was destroyed had the majority of the roof removed and exterior wall failure. The path ended in the field behind the destroyed home. This tornado was also filmed and pictured by several individuals.

Harvey moved across the Gulf of Mexico into the central Texas Coast during the last week of August. After the initial landfall, the cyclone moved back into the gulf a couple days later and then made another landfall in Southwest Louisiana during the morning of the 30th. The first rains from the system moved across the region during the afternoon of the 25th and finally ended during the morning of September 1. One to 5 feet of rain fell across Southeast Texas during the week which in some cases was slightly more than a normal yearly rainfall total. Widespread flooding occurred and a new rainfall record was set regarding the total for a tropical cyclone in the United States.
