Reuters reports that tornadoes struck the New Orleans regions that were already damaged by Hurricane Katrina last September. The twisters caused damage to the Louis Armstrong International Airport.
"Don't ever ask the question, `What else could happen?'" said Marcia Paul Leone, a mortgage banker who was surveying the new damage to her Katrina-flooded home.
She would go no farther than the front porch of her house Thursday morning. Windows were blown out, and the building appeared to be leaning.
"I've been in the mortgage business for 20 years. I know when something's unsafe," she said.
Electricity was knocked out at Louis Armstrong International Airport, rounding passenger flights and leaving travelers to wait in a dimly lit terminal powered by generators. The storm also ripped off part of a concourse roof, slammed one jetway into another, and flipped motorized runway luggage carts.
The AP article said the NWS believes the damage was caused by two tornadoes.
