‘Everything was real quiet’
The smell of pine sap and freshly turned sod permeate the air less than 24 hours after a storm cut through Cass County near Domino at 11:30 p.m. on the evening of Monday, March 21, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The National Weather Service in Shreveport, Louisiana, confirmed that it was in fact an EF-1 tornado with peak winds of 100 mph that cut a 200- yard swatch about two miles long, parallel to Highway 59 before jumping the road just north of Queen City.
