Just before 7 AM on the morning of
January 25th, a tornado touched down in southern Lafayette Parish between the
city of Lafayette and the nearby town of Maurice. The tornado, later rated
as an F2, first struck along Bourque Road, flipping a mobile home which trapped
and injured (one moderately) 3 people. The storm then crossed Highway 167,
damaging several homes and businesses, before tearing the roof off a home on
Constitution Drive. Below are pictures from the event (click for a larger
