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.

Major damage after tornadoes rip through parts of Oklahoma and Texas, U.S.

Major damage was reported in parts of Texas and Oklahoma after a series of tornadoes ripped through the region on Wednesday, May 4, 2022. On Thursday, severe thunderstorms are expected from eastern Texas into the mid-Mississippi Valley. Storms will shift over the lower Mississippi into the Tennessee Valleys on Friday, then Saturday into Monday from the central Plains into the Midwest.

Extensive structural damage was reported in the town of Lockett, TX, located about 80 km (50 miles) NW of Wichita Falls. In a phone call with The Weather Channel, a sheriff’s department employee in Wilbarger County said deputies were on the scene as of about 21:40 CDT.1

Another tornado hit Dickens County in the Texas Panhandle, about 80 km (50 miles) east of Lubbock. The tornado tracked east to south of Paducah.

Tornadoes also hit Seminole, OK tearing apart buildings, downing trees and powerlines, and littering streets with debris. Some 12 000 power outages were reported in Seminole County.2

The Academy of Seminole, a public charter school, was among the buildings damaged after taking a direct hit by the tornado.

“We will be accessing the damage over the next few days. Please do not come to the school: it is extremely dangerous. Everyone who was at the school is safe,” school officials said.
