The tornado touched down just west of Bluebonnet Blvd near a warehouse off of Anselmo Lane. The tornado damaged the warehouse with a few broken windows, damaged overhang awnings, slight roof damage, and rolled an empty semi trailer. As the tornado moved across the far northern portions of the property it uprooted a large tree and snapped many large branches. The tornado crossed the railroad tracks unto the General Hospital grounds where it reached its peak strength and flipped a car, picked up another and turned it 180s degrees setting it on the hood of and SUV parked next to it and moved several other cars. Oddly enough small trees less than 10 feet away were untouched, this is why the width is so small. As it moved away from the first set of hospital buildings it snapped many branches and broken a large set of windows on the back side of the building showing the full rotation of the winds. It moved across Picardy Ave into the main hospital grounds and did minor damage to exterior of the hospital and cracked a number of windows, especially in the third floors and higher. The tornado bent a metal pole holding a gate and debris likely help break many windows in the parking lot. The tornado moved towards Summa Ave, just as it hit the tree line it quickly lifted. .Prairieville Tornado...
