The National Weather Service is confirming that an EF-1 tornado hit Lacombe in St. Tammany Parish on Saturday night.
The twister touched down near Transmitter Road and Clesi Avenue and traveled a little more than a mile eastward before breaking up near Tranquility Road a few minutes later.
The tornado's path was 50 yards wide, and its 90 mph winds flattened pine trees, did some damage to a mobile home, and broke a power pole, leaving nearby homes in the dark.
No injuries were reported.
