阿拉伯，洛杉矶。（AP） - 龙卷风撕裂了新奥尔良及其郊区周二晚上，翻转汽车，撕开屋顶，在10年前飓风卡里娜飓风击打的路易斯安那州的一个地区杀死了至少一个人。
同样的风暴系统产生的其他龙卷风在周一袭击了德克萨斯州和俄克拉荷马州的部分地区，杀死了达拉斯以北的一个女人，并在向东移动之前造成多次伤害和广泛的损害。
Parts of St. Bernard Parish, which borders New Orleans to the southeast, appeared to take the brunt of the weather’s fury, and that is where the fatality occurred. St. Bernard Parish officials gave no details on how the person died; they said multiple other people were injured.
救援workers were searching through the suburban parish for more people in need of assistance, according to Sheriff Jimmy Pohlmann. St. Bernard Parish President Guy McInnis said the tornado caused widespread damage throughout the parish.
New Orleans television stations broadcast live images of the storm as it barreled across the metropolitan area.
龙卷风似乎在郊区开始，然后在密西西比河到新奥尔良和圣伯纳德教区的一部分的地区迁移到了西部的第9病房 - 卡特里娜飓风严重损坏 - 在东北移动之前。
Many residents also suffered damage just last year when Category 4 Hurricane Ida swept through. Stacey Mancuso’s family just completed repairs to their home in the suburb of Arabi after Ida ripped off the roof and caused extensive water damage. Then the tornado Tuesday tore through their street. She huddled in the laundry room with her husband; two children, ages 16 and 11; and dogs as part of their new roof was lifted away by the wind.
“我们还活着。这就是我在这一点所说的。我们仍然有四堵墙和一部分屋顶。我认为自己很幸运，“马库斯说。尽管如此，威尔斯特是自2005年以来的第三次自卡特里娜飓风的重大天气损伤。
In Arabi, there was a strong smell of natural gas in the air as residents and rescue personnel stood in the street and surveyed the damage. Some houses were destroyed while pieces of debris hung from electrical wires and trees. An aluminum fishing boat in front of one house was bent into the shape of a C with the motor across the street. Power poles were down or leaning over, forcing emergency workers to walk slowly through darkened neighborhoods checking for damage.
Michelle Malasovich lives in Arabi. Initially she had been worried about family to the north who were also getting hit by bad weather. She was texting with them when “all of a sudden the lights started flickering.”
Her husband was out on the porch and saw the tornado coming.
“它只是让人越来越响亮，”马萨多奇说。经过它后，他们出来调查伤害。“我们邻居的房子现在位于街道中间。”
她说，马萨洛维奇的房子比较好。一些柱子被吹走了门廊，她吉普的窗户被吹灭了。在街上，房子受到严重损坏，并且停放的车辆被风向浮动了：“这在这里是严重的。”
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell tweeted late Tuesday that there were no reports of casualties or significant damage within the city and that the power utility was working to restore electricity.
据报道，大约13,000所房屋和企业在新奥尔良周围的三个教区中没有权力。Entergy报道说，大约3,500左右没有电不事。
虽然大都市地区的人员习惯于处理飓风或大雨等恶劣天气，但是龙卷风通过新奥尔良的罕见。2017年龙卷风在城市东部触及时引起了广泛的伤害。
路易斯安那州’s federal and state authorities reminded thousands of hurricane survivors living in government-provided mobile homes and recreational vehicle trailers to have an evacuation plan because the structures might not withstand the expected weather. More than 8,000 households live in such temporary quarters, officials said
在恶劣天气之前，庇护所开放，许多学校在路易斯安那州和密西西比州的部分地区关闭或取消了课外活动。
The storm front reached Georgia Wednesday morning after dumping heavy rain, downing trees and prompting multiple tornado warnings in the Deep South. The roofs of several homes were damaged in Toxey, Alabama, after tornado warnings were issued there, the National Weather Service tweeted.
The vicious weather hit Texas on Monday, where several tornadoes were reported along the Interstate 35 corridor. In Elgin, broken trees lined the rural roads and pieces of metal — uprooted by strong winds hung from the branches. Residents stepped carefully to avoid downed power lines as they worked to clean the remnants of broken ceilings, torn down walls and damaged cars.
59，J.D. Harkins说他看到了两个龙卷风通过他的伊尔京家。
“There used to be a barn there,” Harkins said, pointing to an empty plot on his uncle’s property covered with scattered debris. He said the building was empty when the first tornado hit, and that his family is thankful nobody was hurt.
家s and businesses in at least a dozen Texas counties were damaged, according to Storm Prediction Center reports. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced a disaster declaration for 16 hard-hit counties. Abbott said 10 people were injured by storms in the Crockett area, while more than a dozen were reportedly hurt elsewhere.
格雷森县应急管理办公室表示，一名73岁的女子在丹塔斯北约约60英里（95公里）的夏尔伍德海岸社区中丧生，但没有细节。
