Last year, three tornadoes raced across Ouachita Parish, leaving homes demolished, trees uprooted and dozens of families displaced.
Ouachita Parish Homeland Security Director Neal Brown said looking at the damage alone would make you think there must have been an unthinkable number of injuries, even some fatalities. But no injuries were reported in the area.
On a normal Easter Sunday, people would be gathered at churches, eating at restaurants and celebrating the holiday with parties and egg hunts.
No one ever wants to call COVID-19 a good thing, he said, but people being shut in their homes with food and not out traveling might have helped prevented catastrophic injuries and deaths, said Brown.

Pinnacle Asset Management-backed, Viserion Grain, is set to acquire 11 grain elevator facilities in the US from Zen-Noh Grain Corporation (ZGC).
ZGC is divesting the US facilities in conjunction with its proposed
ZGC trades and exports corn, soybeans, sorghum, wheat, and byproducts from its state-of-the-art export elevator located on the Mississippi River, near Convent, Louisiana, to Japan and other global markets. It also has grain origination interests in Canada and Brazil.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is contingent upon the closing of the ZGC s previously announced acquisition of Bunge s facilities, set for late spring 2021.
Located across five states along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, Viserion said the grain elevators it is buying have a total storage capacity of about 25MBu and are well-positioned to provide competitive services for farmers and grain dealers.

Long story short, William Edmondson was one of the most important artists to come out of Nashville. Born in 1876 to sharecroppers on the Compton farm (which was at the corner of Hillsboro and Harding), Edmondson and his mother and many of his brothers and sisters moved to Edgehill, where William took up sculpting. He was the first African American artist to have a solo show at MoMA. And he made a lot of headstones, many of which are still standing in Nashville and the surrounding areaâs African American cemeteries.
