|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2017 | Tornado (EF0) | Bayside Terrace | $100,000 | This EF-0 tornado is the second brief tornado from the larger mesocyclone associated with a fast moving HP supercell. It began along or just east of Highway 146 near or just south of Main Street and ended at Southern Morgan's Point near the Bay. There was considerable damage to trees and power lines across much of La Porte east of Highway 146. This location made tornado identification difficult as the area also was located within strong south southeasterly inflow winds followed by stronger westerly straight line winds as the first couplet gusted out and a secondary couplet evolved over the Barbours Cut Port Facility. It appears this tornado likely moved across the city roughly from west to east from the same velocity couplet which produced the first brief tornado in Pasadena as it rotated around the larger mesocyclone. Estimated peak winds were 70 to 80 mph. |

| March 2023 | Hail | Bayside Terrace | - | An MPING user reported quarter sized hail in La Porte. |
