What the National Weather Service wrote

Several utility poles were downed onto Railroad Avenue between Pecos and Aycock Streets in Morgan City.

The wider storm

An unstable air mass moved into South Louisiana ahead of an upper level disturbance that was moving out of Texas. A weak line of storms moved into Southeast Texas then into Louisiana and strengthened. This produced flooding and a few reports of damage.

Began near Rhoda (29.6900, -91.1700).
