quote:Large tornado hits New Orleans, causing extensive damage, Louisiana
A destructive wedge tornado ripped through parts of New Orleans, Louisiana Tuesday night, March 22, 2022, causing extensive damage, killing at least one person, and leaving several others injured. This raised the number of fatalities related to the severe weather outbreak affecting the Deep South over the past few days to 2. Severe storms with the potential for damaging winds and brief tornadoes can be expected across the Southeast today. Strong to severe storms will be possible into the Ohio Valley and southern Mid-Atlantic. Some storms may produce locally heavy rain and flash flooding.
The tornado touched down at approximately 19:35 CDT in a New Orleans suburb and then moved east across the Mississippi River into the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans and parts of St. Bernard Parish before moving northeast. It was on the ground for about 15 minutes.
St. Bernard Parish appears to have taken the brunt of the storm. This is where the fatality and injuries were reported but officials are yet to give details.1
The New Orleans Fire Department has requested a major EMS response following the tornado. The damage was said to be significant in parts of Lower Ninth Ward and nearby suburb Arabi.2
A Fox 8 New Orleans report from the area shows immense structural damage, overturned cars, and downed power lines.
