PALMETTO, La. – At least two deaths and multiple injuries have been reported in Louisiana following severe weather Friday night and Saturday morning.
One person was killed and seven injured after at least one tornado touched down in St. Landry Parish. Separately, in Shreveport, a 48-year-old man was killed when a tree fell on his mobile home amid strong winds, said Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator.
The same storm system caused significant damage 400 miles to the east in Bay County, Florida, where an image showed the remains of a Panama City Beach convenience store with its roof and walls largely gone and aisles of merchandise intact.

St. Landry Parish is honoring those who have died from COVID-19 in the parish with a special memorial at the parish courthouse.
Initially started by an artist in Washington, D.C., the white flags each symbolize a life that was lost due to the coronavirus. The project has since trickled down to smaller communities nationwide, including Lafayette and Baton Rouge. St. Landry Parish Director of Emergency Preparedness and Public Relations Van Reed said that after seeing the memorial, Opelousas and the parish wanted to be a part of it.
