LaSalle Parish residents are working today to repair storm damage from Saturday’s storm.

An EF1 tornado was confirmed by the National Weather Service in the Jena area. The severe weather damaged buildings and uprooted trees.

Many areas sustained severe damage including a destroyed church in the community of Midway.

That storm also moved into Mississippi and produced a tornado that killed four near Hattiesburg.
