BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – Emergency officials in Louisiana say two people have been taken to a hospital after a possible tornado touched down.
Bobbi Jo Breland with the Washington Parish office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said in an email the storm struck around 3:30 a.m. CDT Thursday just west of Bogalusa.
Breland says a mobile home flipped over and two people were rescued and taken to a hospital. She did not know the extent of their injuries. A roof collapsed at another home, and one person had to be rescued.
A line of storms moving across the Deep South brings the threat of heavy rain, winds and tornadoes today.
Schools were delayed today in parts of Louisiana because of the weather.
Bogalusa is about 60 miles northeast of New Orleans.
