The SPC discussion is focused well north of LA, with severe storms over Minnesota, northeast Nebraska, and eastern South Dakota expected to produce hail around 1 to 2.5 inches, wind gusts of 55 to 70 mph, and a couple of tornadoes in the strongest cells.
Statewide maxima from SPC verified reports and NWS warnings, last 12 months. Tornado EF ratings are assigned by NWS survey teams after ground surveys and published in NOAA's final storm records.

How Louisiana compares nationally
Ranked by SPC verified storm reports (wind, hail, tornado) across all 50 states over the last 12 months. Severity-weighted index scores each report by hazard (tornado ×20, hail ×4, wind ×1) so a single derecho's flood of wind reports doesn't outweigh tornado outbreaks. Recalculated daily as of Sep 11, 2026.
