An effort is underway to raise $2,000 to provide relief for a historic Louisiana village impacted by Saturday’s storms.

Numerous public buildings in the heart of downtown Fisher sustained “devastating damage,” notes a Facebook post by Patrick Dalton Johnson, who started the Fisher, LA Relief Fundraiser.

“Fisher is a very special and historical village. For the people that live there and for the people that pass through, we all know there’s no other place like it,” his post says.

He adds that any funds raised through his effort will go directly to the Sabine Parish village to help repair those buildings, some of which are about 120 years old.

The posting, which Sabine District Attorney Don Burkett shared Sunday evening, shows $705 had been raised as of that night.

Golfball-size hail fell near Florien, which is about four miles south of Fisher, about 1:45 a.m. Saturday.

A severe thunderstorm warning issued about 10:30 a.m. Saturday included parts of Sabine Parish and warned of the possibility of high winds, hail and heavy rainfall.
