Details remained skethcy on the extent of damages as darkness and downed trees and lines hampered the work of first responders.Elsewhere, some cities opened shelters as a cold front collided with warmer air over northern Gulf Coast states and temperatures were expected to plunge. The Louisiana death Monday was attributed to an apparent tornado that struck a residential area in Vernon Parish, but details were not immediately available, said Chief Deputy Calvin Turner.
Children in a church school were moved to the church before the tornado ripped off the school's roof, said Cpl. Wade Bourgeois, spokesman for the Alexandria Police Department. Among the hardest-hit spots was the Johnny Downs Sports Complex, which he said may have suffered “total damage.”Bourgeois said some mobile homes and a few houses were damaged. Downed power lines left people stuck in homes or other buildings until rescuers could reach them, Bourgeois said.
“We've got multiple houses with severe damage and a few houses that are completely destroyed,” he said. The number wasn't known Monday night because crews couldn't get to them all — downed trees tangled with power lines blocked county roads and state highways, he said.Four counties eastward, seven women were taken to a hospital from a heavily damaged group home in Sumrall, Mississippi,WDAM-TV reported.
Church member Shane Keith told the newspaper he rushed to Lighthouse Baptist once the storm passed to fined the pews tossed around the hillside where the church once sat.
