A destructive storm marching across the country spawned twisters that authorities say killed a young boy and his mother near Shreveport, Louisiana.
KEITHSVILLE, La. — A volatile storm ripping across the U.S. spawned tornadoes that killed a young boy and his mother in Louisiana, smashed mobile homes and chicken houses in Mississippi and threatened neighboring Southern states with more punishing weather Wednesday.
Sheriff Steve Prator said their home was destroyed and the boy ended up a half-mile away, while his mother’s body was discovered one street over from where their mobile home stood. When deputies arrived at their address, they found nothing but a concrete slab, said sheriff’s Sgt. Casey Jones. In Keithsville, Louisiana, where the two deaths occurred, sheriff’s deputies restricted access to the area where the suspected tornado touched down. Downed trees, some that appeared to be ripped up by their roots, littered the landscape. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards planned to tour the area Wednesday afternoon.
“Some people even stayed the night in their houses that had big pine trees on them,” Futch said. “They didn’t have anywhere to go.” In the Black Hills of western South Dakota, snow piled up to nearly 2 feet in some mountainous communities.“They shovel for hours on end,” said Vicki Weekly, who manages a historic hotel in the tourist and gambling city of Deadwood, where a few visitors were still venturing out to hit the casinos.
