Survey Summary:
NWS survey team determined an EF-0 tornado, with peak winds of
85 mph impacted portions of Crescent in Iberville Parish. This
tornado touched down near Guilotta Lane, where it mainly damaged
trees along Bayou Rd. A few homes had damage to their roof as it
went to the north of Crescent Elementary School. The tornado then
crossed Bayou Plaquemine before going over Bayou Jacob Rd.
Numerous trees were uprooted north of Bayou Jacob Rd near Dozier
Rd. Trees were snapped in a convergent pattern here, which
supports tornadic winds. The tornado crossed Bayou Jacob Rd
