Authorities in Louisiana said Saturday said at least three people have died in connection with a severe storm that is sweeping across parts of the US Gulf Coast and Southeast.
The Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office said on its Facebook page that the bodies of an elderly couple were found near their demolished trailer by firefighters.
A search for more possible victims was underway. The Sheriff's Office also said the roof of Benton Middle School was damaged and "that water damage from the sprinkler system has flooded many rooms."
Ahead of the storms, Dallas' Office of Emergency Management asked residents to bring in pets, outdoor furniture, grills, and anything else that could be caught up in high winds to reduce the risk of flying debris."
