Suspected tornado tears through Louisiana, damaging homes

This is a dangerous day across the South as powerful storms swept several states. The city of Monroe, Louisiana, and several parishes have already been hit, possibly by tornadoes.

“The whole house has collapsed ya’ll!” Tyrone Dickens was heard saying on his Facebook livestream as he toured the area in his car.

An unconfirmed tornado tore through the city of Monroe just before noon on Sunday.

“Look at these houses, Lord Jesus,” Dickens said.

At least 20 homes were heavily damaged. The suspected twister ripped away several roofs, downing trees and power lines, blocking roads across the city.

With the worst behind them, many people returned to search through the wreckage to salvage whatever they could.

The storm turned planes around at the Monroe regional airport.

Severe weather is forecast through the night with tornado warnings up across the state.
