A destructive winter storm was marching across the United States on Wednesday, delivering blizzard-like conditions to the Great Plains hours after tornadoes touched down in parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.
A tornado in the Pecan farms area of Keithville, in Caddo Parish in northwest Louisiana, south of Shreveport, killed a young boy and left his mother missing, according to Sheriff Steve Prator. He said an adult male and adult female were hospitalized.
In Farmerville, in north-central Louisiana, Detective Cade Nolan told CBS News as many as 25 people were hurt, at least two critically, when a twister raced through. It was the "most damage I've ever seen in 17 years in this (Union) parish," he said as he stood next to an overturned GMC SUV.
