Update #2... Although several weeks have passed since Hurricane Ida impacted the area, NWS New Orleans/Baton Rouge continued its remote storm surveys from Hurricane Ida. The team used damage reports from emergency management and high-resolution aerial photography images from the NOAA Remote Sensing Division following Hurricane Ida in coastal Mississippi and southeastern St. Tammany Parish, LA to conduct most of these surveys. Another team of NWS meteorologists was able to conduct a ground survey of an EF-0 tornado in Gulfport, MS on September 2. An additional 7 tornadoes were found, bringing the event total to 15 confirmed tornadoes during Hurricane Ida on August 29-30. .Tornado #1...
