Workers at the Big Boss truck stop on Center Street saw the funnel cloud and took cover as it collapsed part of the store. A car was crushed under the debris.
Two mobile homes were flipped.
"One of the mobile homes (had) a mother and two children... a toddler and an infant. They were transported to North Oaks Hospital just in case," Parish President Robby Miller said.
He says two people in the other mobile home were hurt too, but are expected to be okay.
"God blessed us! No fatalities at all right now."
The area of Center Street (Hwy 440) near and Martin Luther King Dr. (Hwy 1050) in the Village of Tangipahoa were covered in debris.
