The line of thunderstorms that barreled through the area early Wednesday morning has resulted in the death of an elderly Sabine County woman.

The Sabine County Sheriff’s Office says 87-year old Stella Parrish of Hemphill was killed when a tree fell on her home.

Sheriff Tom Maddox says investigators suspect that the saturated ground and windy conditions were responsible in the tree falling on the home.

TxDOT is also reporting a number of Sabine County roadways were also closed yesterday while crews worked to remove trees. Those roads included Highways 103 & 184, FM 2024, FM 83, FM 1592 and FM 944.
