On this day in 1992: Hurricane Andrew approached the LA coast. A thunderstorm in one of the outer rainbands spawned a tornado that touched down just east of LaPlace, LA. The tornado moved WNW through St. John the Baptist Parish - lifting near the Maurepas Swamp. Along its roughly 9 mile path, the F3 tornado was responsible for 2 deaths and an additional 32 injuries.
