What the National Weather Service wrote

High downburst winds from a supercell thunderstorm blew down trees and power lines in a swath across southern portions of Franklin Parish with a concentration of damage around Wisner.

The wider storm

Convergence of moisture along a stationary front in northern Louisiana triggered thunderstorms during the day on June 14th. With an unstable air mass south of the front and a strong jet stream over the frontal zone sustaining robust updrafts, these storms quickly became severe and moved east-southeast across portions of northeast Louisiana through the morning of the 15th.

Began near Mason (32.0700, -91.8900).
