According to city mayor Ronnie Walker, two people were killed in a tornado on the campus of the Louisiana Technical University in Raston. The identity of the victims at the moment are not known. Not a single college student was hurt, but the university is closed on Thursday, because electricity is turned off in the city, and piles of garbage are scattered on the streets.

“We have suffered significant damage. Many houses were damaged. The shopping center took a direct hit. This is really bad,” concluded Walker.
