Strong winds knock down power lines at Louisiana Tech University early Thursday morning. University President Les Guice says classes have been canceled as school officials assess the damage to the campus.

We are still assessing damage to campus due to the tornado. Power lines are down and a lot of debris is as well creating safety hazards. We need all to stay in place. Let us know if you have special needs. Classes are cancelled for Thursday.— Les Guice (@lkguice) April 25, 2019
