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.
