Tropical Storm Cindy made landfall around midnight near Grand Isle Louisiana and moved northeast across Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi. As Cindy weakened, gusty winds up to 40 mph occurred across portions of Lamar and Forrest counties. These gusty winds caused several dozen trees to become uprooted. A few of these trees landed on homes causing damage. Additionally, 2 to 4 inches of rain fell as Cindy dissipated and moved inland into Alabama.
