Louisiana governor says 2 dead in tornado
RUSTON, La. (AP) – Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards says two people have been killed by a tornado that tore through the northern city of Ruston early Thursday.
The tornado caused severe damage to buildings, vehicles and power lines and forced a local university to cancel classes.
National Weather Service hydrologist C. S. Ross says it appears the tornado cut a track over 130 miles (209 kilometers) from eastern Texas to the Louisiana-Arkansas border.
Louisiana Tech University President Les Guice said on Twitter that classes were canceled Thursday. The university said no students were reported injured.
The tornado was part of a severe weather system that pounded Texas with rain Wednesday, killing a woman and two children caught in flash flood waters.
The storm moved into Mississippi on Thursday morning.
