Severe weather in Northwestern Louisiana damaged several homes and businesses. In Vivian, Louisiana a tree fell into the house of an 87-year-old woman.

Edith Branton was not trapped inside her home, but she couldn't get back in because downed trees blocked her only unlocked door in the garage.

Branton was asleep when three pine trees fell at once right on top of her bedroom.

Friday (10/9) morning's quick and destructive winds knocked out power when uprooted trees and tree limbs were blown into power lines.
