Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.5 miles Path Width /maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: Jun_24_2020 Start Time: 450_am_CDT Start Location: Westminster_/_East Baton Rouge Parish_/_LA Start Lat/Lon: 30.4049_/_-91.1009 End Date: Jun_24_2020 End Time: 453_am_CDT End Location: Westminster_/_East Baton Rouge Parish_/_LA End Lat/Lon: 30.4392_/_-91.0510 Survey Summary: A NWS survey conducted in Baton Rouge verified a tornado with a path length of 3.5 miles and peak intensity of 110 mph EF-1. The tornado first touched down near Essen Park Avenue, just south of Interstate 12 near Essen Lane. It produced minor roof damage to the Fairfield Inn, snapped a few smaller trees and knocked down a light pole. The tornado rapidly intensified, producing significantly more damage just moments later. As the tornado reached two Ammon Staffing buildings, it downed fencing, peeled the northern side metal roofing off, and blew out a window on the east side of the building. Of the two buildings, the western one was damaged the most. More than half its flat roof was ripped off or collapsed. There was a partial collapse of the southwest exterior wall on the second story. It is suspected that a large limb or some other object hit that corner of the building, which could have aided in the lifting of the roof. No roof straps were seen during the survey. The tornado also damaged the roof of a building just to the east of Ammon Staffing Buildings. Only the center section of the roof was removed and the rafters actually remained intact. Based on the overall damage of these 3 buildings, a peak wind speed of 110 mph was given at this point which was the strongest point of the tornado's track. These winds carried over into those building's parking lot to carry debris and, based on tire slide marks, may have pushed a vehicle through a chain linked fence to the interstate onramp. The tornado then crossed Interstate 12. On the north side of the interstate, it downed smaller trees, ripped off some vinyl siding and damaged the roof slightly. The tornado continued northeastward, downing several large trees and powerlines along Essen Heights Ct. The tornado then moved through Westminster, downing multiple trees across several streets. As the tornado passed over Westminster Elementary School, it damaged the school sign and ripped skirting off modular classrooms. The strength of the tornado would generally only weaken from this point onward. Tree damage persisted along a path through the I-12 and Airline Highway intersection. Minor commercial building window damage was noted near the Costco. The last few points of damage were just east-northeast of this location through Cedarcrest Avenue and finally Old Hammond Highway just east of Sherwood Blvd. .Tornado 6 - Greenwell Springs Tornado... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.31 miles Path Width /maximum/: 125 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: Jun_24_2020 Start Time: 525_am_CDT Start Location: 3 mi NE Central_/_East Baton Rouge Parish_/_LA Start Lat/Lon: 30.6025_/_-91.0045 End Date: Jun_24_2020 End Time: 530_am_CDT End Location: 3 mi NE Central_/_East Baton Rouge Parish_/_LA End Lat/Lon: 30.6039_/_-90.9996 Survey Summary: This tornado touched down near Yatasi Ave, snapping and uprooting trees. Trees landed and damaged 2 cars. It then progressed in a northeast direction, where it damaged the carport and fascia of some nearby houses. It then lifted just before Greenwell Springs Port Hudson Rd. .Tornado 7 - West Baton Rouge Tornado... Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 4.6 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: Jun_24_2020 Start Time: 230_pm_CDT Start Location: 3 mi NE Erwinville_/_West Baton Rouge Parish_/_LA Start Lat/Lon: 30.6004_/_-91.3518 End Date: Jun_24_2020 End Time: 241_pm_CDT End Location: 3 mi NE Erwinville_/_West Baton Rouge Parish_/_LA End Lat/Lon: 30.6006_/_-91.3440 Survey Summary: The tornado touched down just west of Bueche Rd, tearing some siding off of a house. In addition, the roof of a garage building was damaged from trees. It also uprooted trees and snapped tree limbs as it progressed in an eastward direction. It lifted on Bueche Rd just short of Clause Bayou. It is possible that the tornado started and ended before and after the stated locations, however these areas were inaccessible or were surrounded by fields. ...Walthall County Tornado... .Tornado 8 - Walthall County Tornado... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 6.53 miles Path Width /maximum/: 150 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: Jun_24_2020 Start Time: 720_am_CDT Start Location: 5 mi S Darbun_/Walthall_County_/_MS Start Lat/Lon: 31.20_/_-90.12 End Date: Jun_24_2020 End Time: 737_am_CDT End Location: 4 mi ESE Darbun_/Walthall_County_/_MS End Lat/Lon: 31.25_/_-90.03 Survey Summary: This survey was conducted by NWS Jackson, MS. This tornado started just west of MS Highway 27 along St. John Road and tracked northeast and dissipated just inside Marion County at the dairy farm along Brumfield Road. Along the path, many trees were damaged. This included snapped and uprooted trees as well as many large limbs broken. Along Highway 27, minor roof damage occurred to one home. Along McKenzie Road, more substantial tree damage was noted and a power pole was taken down. Another area where more substantial tree damage occurred was south of Fulgham Road and at the intersection of Possum Trot Road.

About 0.4 miles of the track occurred in Marion County, MS.
