Louisiana Storm

[Erby]

I wonder if that's what they call a foundation in Louisiana?

Hope Marc is ok.

Yeah, I'm fine.  Worse part of storm didn't come this far south.  The house in the OP was likely exposed to tornado-force winds.  'Uprooted' is the wrong term.  Reporters like to dramatize a story.

Those are fluted piers.  The home was likely over 75 years old and in those days, that was considered a foundation.

Lots of them built on those here too, except the ground under them isn't nearly as level as that.
