BATON ROUGE - A vehicle that went missing from a parking lot near I-10 during a severe storm early Wednesday morning was later found overturned on the interstate.
Tenants at an office building on One Calais Avenue off Essen Lane told WBRZ that a vehicle parked in the lot Tuesday night was not there after a potential tornado passed through the area in the early morning hours.
