Crews were assessing the damage on Wednesday on the east side of New Orleans where a powerful tornado killed at least one person and injured eight people as it left a two-mile path of destroyed homes, uprooted power lines and overturned vehicles.
A dark funnel cloud touched down at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday , flattening buildings and flipping over vehicles in the Arabi area of St. Bernard Parish.
Much of southern Louisiana is still recovering from Hurricane Ida, a fierce Category 4 storm last August that devastated rural communities to the south of New Orleans and killed more than 100 people in several U.S. states and the Caribbean. Lane said crews and local officials were going block to block, assessing the damage left behind by the tornado, which appeared to have stayed on a straight path for about 2 miles .
Cantrell said she was declaring a state of emergency "out of an abundance of caution" and to enable access to any federal government resources that New Orleans would be eligible for in the future.Residents spent the day picking through debris and climbing rubble piles where their houses and businesses once stood while utility crews worked to repair downed power lines along city streets.
