A tornado injured three people and damaged nearly two-dozen homes this morning in southern Louisiana. A woman was treated for a broken leg after the twister ripped through part of the rural community of Catahoula around 6 a.m., said Major Ginny Higgins of the St. Martin Parish sheriff’s department. The woman, in her early 30s, was struck by flying debris as she ran from her mobile home to her mother’s home, according to Higgins. Higgins said two other people had minor injuries. The National Weather Service said the tornado was 50 to 100 yards wide when it tore through the area, which is south of Henderson and northeast of St. Martinville.
