janetjanet998 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 March 5, 2011 A woman was killed and 11 others were hurt Saturday after a suspected tornado hit the southwestern Louisiana town of Rayne. Acadia Parish sheriff's spokeswoman Maxine Trahan said the 21-year-old woman died after a tree fell on her house. Authorities say about 1,500 residents have been forced to leave their homes after natural gas leaks were reported. Trahan said the residents must stay away until at least Sunday. At least 100 homes have been destroyed or damaged in a swath of destruction a quarter of a mile wide and three miles long. http://www.npr.org/2011/03/05/134295770/suspected-tornado-hits-louisiana-town-1-killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
