Tornado rips through New Orleans, destroying homes
A large tornado ripped through New Orleans on Tuesday, killing at least one person, destroying homes, and knocking down power lines, in another setback for an area that has yet to fully recover from last year's Hurricane Ida.
A dark funnel cloud touched down in the city and tore through neighborhoods, pictures on social media showed, with damage reported in the communities off Arabi, Gretna, and St. Bernard Parish.
In Arabi, the tornado blew off roofs, destroyed houses, and knocked over trees.
Tuesday's tornado struck a day after twisters destroyed homes and injured people elsewhere in the region.
Power was reported out for more than 17,346 customers in Louisiana, 25,923 in Texas and more than 11,646 in Mississippi, according to the website poweroutage.us. Some 8,000 customers in New Orleans lacked electricity, utility provider Atmos Energy told NOLA.com.
