High wind gusts were recorded in Louisiana around noontime today.

NWS stations:

Lafayette: 73 mph (KLFT) (60 mph sustained)

New Iberia: 91 mph (KARA) (46 mph sustained)

Ironically, there was a NWS station at Vermilion on Avery Island, which
is pretty much where landfall was. But it has not reported for some
time.

AWS stations hard to determine due to outages and slow response. The
highest I saw was:
KATC-TV (AWS Station): 71 mph

Several tornados were reported, here are preliminary reports from the
NWS:
