At least one person was injured in the storms that passed through Acadiana on Wednesday morning.
St. Landry Parish officials say a woman was at the Yambilee Building Wednesday and was in her car with two others when a tree fell, trapping all of them inside.
The woman was seriously injured when the tree hit her car and transported to New Orleans for treatment, officials say.
