Special Weather Statement issued July 1 at 1:37PM CDT by NWS New Orleans LA At 137 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm capable of producing waterspouts over marine areas near Paradis, or near Hahnville, moving west at 5 mph. HAZARD...Waterspouts, wind gusts up to 40 to 50 mph, and penny size hail. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Waterspouts can easily overturn boats and create locally hazardous waters. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Locations impacted include... Hahnville, Paradis, Luling, Boutte, Destrehan, Taft, New Sarpy, St. Rose, Ama, Norco, Killona, Bayou Gauche, and Des Allemands. This includes Interstate 310 between mile markers 3 and 11. If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. Conditions are favorable for the development of brief funnel clouds or weak waterspouts near marine areas. These waterspouts are typically weak and short-lived, but they can still pose a hazard to boaters and anyone near the water. Do not apporach a waterspout. If one moves towards your location, move indoors. If you are on the water, seek safe harbor immediately. If on or near marine areas, get out of the water and move indoors or inside a vehicle. Remember, lightning can strike out to 10 miles from the parent thunderstorm. If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not be caught on the water in a thunderstorm.
