0949 AM     Tornado          2 NNW Slidell           30.30N 89.78W
04/10/2024                   St. Tammany        LA   NWS Storm Survey

            A combination of high resolution satellite
            imagery, ground survey, and radar imagery
            has aided in the confirmation of an EF1
            tornado with max winds speeds of 90mph that
            tracked for 4.92 miles across Alton and
            northwest parts of Slidell on the morning of
            April 10, 2024. This tornado touched down
            just south of Interstate 12 near Ben Thomas
            Road and tracked northeast. The tornado
            crossed Interstate 12 just west of US
            Highway 11 where the tornado was observed
            via video confirmation and ground survey of
            snapped trees. Sporadic tree damage
            continued northeast with more widespread
            tree damage being identified around Alton
            Elementary School. The tornado then crossed
            US Highway 11 where more tree damage was
            identified along Highway 1091. Damage became
            more sporadic and the end point of this
            tornado is harder to discern due to the
            beginning of a stronger and larger tornado
            that crossed nearby this area thereafter.
