What shapes up to be the most significant tornado outbreak for Louisiana in more than a year produced at least 19 confirmed touchdowns (NWS preliminary reports) between the evening of Feb 14 into the early morning of Feb 15. 

The best news is that the outbreak did not produce any injuries or fatalities, although damage was fairly widespread.
