Deadly severe storms cause damage along Gulf Coast
From tornadoes to damaging winds to large hail to flooding, the Gulf Coast was pummeled by dangerous thunderstorms Monday. Severe weather was reported from Texas to Florida. Some of the most widespread damage happened in southwestern Louisiana, where a possible tornado carved a path of destruction through Lake Charles.
Some 80 miles east of Lake Charles, the storms were blamed for at least one death on the outskirts of Henderson, Louisiana, in St. Martin Parish. At least two buildings sustained roof damage in the parish, according to local storm reports received by the National Weather Service.
