A large wedge tornado, likely an EF 4 or 5 storm, cut a path through New Orleans Lower Ninth Ward on Tuesday evening. It was part of a line of storms that cut across the South. The tornado in the Lower Ninth was just one of several tornadoes in the New Orleans area.
Details are still coming in.

Thousands are without power, but the extent of damage and injuries is not yet known. People are reportedly trapped beneath the debris of demolished homes.
This was apparently a long track tornado, on the ground for some time before hitting New Orleans—another sign that the storm was exceptionally powerful
