Tornado warnings have been issued for Lake Charles, Sulphur and Moss Bluff as a cold front — that is bringing along with it severe thunderstorms — makes it way east into Southwest Louisiana.
A tornado was confirmed on the ground south of Ragley, said National Weather Service meteorologist Donald Jones said.
“It’s going to be moving into parts of Allen Parish in about 15-20 minutes,” he said.
