ELTON, La. — A tornado hit the southwest Louisiana town of Elton — uprooting trees, blowing down power lines and overturning at least one tractor-trailer traveling on Interstate 10.
The National Weather Service in Lake Charles says the twister touched down about 1 p.m. Thursday and crossed the interstate, just east of Jennings. At least one 18-wheeler was overturned as the tornado swept through the area, authorities said.
In Jefferson Davis Parish, about 10 homes were damaged and trees and power lines were down in a six-block area, leaving an unknown number of residents without electricity.
No injuries were reported.
