1003 AM     Tornado          2 N Eden Isle           30.25N 89.80W
04/10/2024                   St. Tammany        LA   NWS Storm Survey

            Start point - A 9.3 mile long, 120 MPH, EF2
            tornado touched down 1 mile north of Eden
            Isle and tracked east-northeast causing
            mainly tree damage through the first half
            mile or so. It then approached Pontchartrain
            Drive and caused damage to a few businesses.
            This damage included a business with all
            windows blown out, minor roof damage to
            metal buildings, and snapped power poles. It
            then continued on through a neighborhood
            causing mainly tree damage and minor roof
            damage to homes. It crossed onto Old Spanish
            Trail where the worst of the damage
            occurred. A metal business building had
            failure of roof purlins and metal beams
            bent. Across the street from this metal
            business building, two apartment buildings
            suffered moderate roof damage. The tornado
            then continued on causing mostly tree damage
            and minor roof damage to apartments inthe
            Fremaux area. It crossed I-10 and continued
            to cause additional tree damage before it
            moved through a few neighborhoods just north
            and south of US-190, causing damage to a few
            homes roofs. The damage to these roofs was
            caused by the failure connection between the
            walls and the roof. Finally it tracked
            through the Pearl River Wildlife Management
            Area before snapping a billboard off of
            Interstate 10 near the Louisiana-
            Mississippi border. Initial End point:
            30.3013, -89.6507.
