Which radars cover Eastwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 18 miles west-southwest. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Eastwood	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	18 mi west-southwest	1,000 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	103 mi south-southeast	10,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLCH Lake Charles, LA	170 mi south	22,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
