The National Weather Service can take days to confirm whether destructive winds were in fact tornadoes, but the impact was clear.
KEITHVILLE, La. — A storm system that spawned dozens of reported tornadoes from east Texas to the Florida Panhandle was all but done with the South on Thursday after killing at least three people and uprooting families across Louisiana, where some homes were blown into pieces.
The National Weather Service can take days to confirm whether destructive winds were in fact tornadoes, but the impact was clear in places like Caddo Parish, Louisiana, where a man went out for groceries and returned to discover his mobile home was gone, and with it, his wife and son. The body of 8-year-old Nikolus Little was found in the woods. The body of his mother, Yoshiko A. Smith, 30, was discovered later, under storm debris. “He just went to go shopping for his family, came home and the house was gone,” Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Sgt. Casey Jones said.
New Orleans emergency director Collin Arnold said businesses and residences in the city suffered significant wind damage, largely on the river’s west bank. One home collapsed, injuring four people. “The last word we had is that they were stable,” Arnold said.
