KEITHVILLE, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Shortly after 3:30 p.m., firefighters received a call to a home with people inside that had been struck by a fallen oak tree during the severe storm, believed to include a tornado.

Caddo Fire District 4 units were dispatched to the 10300 block of LaLaurie Lane in the Jersey Gold neighborhood in Keithville Parish. CFD4 reported that several residents and pets were inside the home when the tree fell.

‘Remarkably, no one sustained major injuries. The most harrowing account involved a bedroom occupant who was only feet away from being crushed when the tree crashed through the roof above them,’ said CFD4.
