During the 1978 Bossier City tornado outbreak one of the tornados went through the Central Park division and a power substation.
It continued northeast across Old Minden Road striking a power substation, the Port-au-Prince apartments, the Sheraton Hotel, several houses in the adjacent Central Plaza subdivision and Rusheon Junior High School. The circulation then crossed into the Central Park subdivision in western central Bossier City and made full contact with the ground.
