A large tornado tore through the New Orleans metropolitan area late Tuesday evening, ripping roofs off homes, flipping cars, killing at least one person and injuring multiple others as severe weather continued to push through the South.
Roofs were torn from homes in the suburb of Arabi and New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward as the powerful tornado slammed the city. There were reports of people trapped inside bathrooms in their homes after taking cover, according to St. Bernard Parish President Guy McGinnis.
