Downpours flooded homes and streets, forcing at least 800 people into Red Cross shelters. At least two fatalities were blamed on the storm, which was downgraded to a tropical depression in the morning.

In southwestern Louisiana, police reported that a tornado at Hackberry damaged roofs and destroyed a mobile home.
