thunderstorms, south of LA 10 north of Kedron, Louisiana. The 
tornado caused mostly uprooted trees and snapped large limbs off 
of trees as it tracked eastward across Interstate 55. It 
dissipated just east of LA 4054 after causing minor damage to 
trees. Further analysis will be done and the track may change.

Survey Summary:
A 65 MPH EF0 tornado touched down north of Albany, LA and tracked
southeast. The damage was large branches and tree debris along
the line that also lines up with the radar signature.There also
seemed to be a tree down on I-55 so it's likely this will be
extended as satellite data is received. The thunderstorm wind
damage point to the west that may also get connected in the
future.

Additional Locations Surveyed:

...Hammond, LA...
Scattered light wind damage was found east of downtown Hammond.
This was mostly very small branches with 2 larger uprooted or 
snapped trees. There was no obvious sign of a tornado and if there
was a tornado that was at least 65 MPH, there would be more
widespread damage in an urban area.

...Walthall County, MS...
There is damage to the north of Walthall County which NWS Jackson
surveyed. It is likely a track will continue down into Walthall
but more analysis is needed.

Overall, many of these tracks may be adjusted or additional tracks
added as satellite data becomes avialable.
