04/10/2024                   Cameron            LA   NWS Storm Survey

            The tornado began near the intersection of
            Herbert Camp Rd and Big Pasture Road,
            resulting in EF0-EF1 tree damage as it
            headed northeast. Surging winds to the south
            of the tornadic circulation removed the roof
            of an outbuilding farther east down Big
            Pasture Rd. The tornado continued northeast
            through marshy and uninhabited areas,
            crossing the Intracoastal waterway south of
            the Grand Lake Swing Bridge. To the south of
            LA-384, an untethered mobile home was
            flipped and destroyed. On the north side of
            the highway, an RV and a small outbuilding
            were overturned. The tornado continued
            east-northeast, causing additional tree
            damage as it neared and crossed Gulf
            Highway. The tornado caused additional tree
            damage as it passed through the Vincent Road
            and Piccou Lane area before dissipating
            shortly after.

            The tornado touched down to the south of
            LA-384 near Honore Lane, damaging trees as
            it headed northeast toward the Intracoastal
            waterway. The tornado continued through
            generally marshy and uninhabited areas until
            nearing Gulf Highway to the south of b1BANK,
            causing additional tree damage and tearing
            off a metal awning from a storage building
            and tossing it approximately 300 feet into a
            neighboring yard. The tornado then crossed
            Gulf Highway, leaning wooden utility poles
            toward the east, and dissipating in a field
            to the southeast of the bank. Tornado Rated
            EF1.
