HEMPHILL -- A savage thunderstorm wind, perhaps a tornado, struck a rural area Thursday near the East Texas border, leaving one woman dead.
Sabine County Sheriff Tom Maddox said the storm streaked across the southwestern corner of the county on the Louisiana border about 1:30 p.m. Thursday. Maddox said the storm dropped a tree limb onto a mobile home about five miles north of Pineland, fatally injuring Louise Pillow Stringer, 74. The home was 145 miles northwest of Houston.Have more to add? News tip? Tell us
