Severe Thunderstorm Hits New Orleans

10 minutes ago

KENNER, La. - A violent thunderstorm swept through neighborhoods hit hard by Hurricane Katrina, tearing off roofs, knocking down utility poles and collapsing at least one previously storm-damaged house early Thursday, authorities said.

No serious injuries were reported.

The storm ripped part of a roof off Louis Armstrong International Airport, then hit the suburb of Kenner and the hurricane-ravaged lakefront area of New Orleans where at least one house collapsed, police said.

Authorities said a state police communications tower also fell across a roadway.

At the airport, a piece of roof was torn off a concourse, and a jetway used to load passengers was torn off and slammed into another jetway, said airport spokeswoman Michelle Duffourc. The airport was left on emergency power, grounding passenger service.

Although ground equipment at the airport was turned over by the high winds, no airplanes were damaged, Duffourc said.

The
National Weather Service had yet not determined whether a tornado had hit. The thunderstorm moved at more than 50 mph across the New Orleans region around 2:30 a.m.

I guess God still not through cleansing this area! I will lift it up to God in my prayers today. Thanks Gypsy for posting it.

Lord, I lift up Chrio39 to you, please protect him and his family, protect the work he is doing, both physical work and spiritual work. Lord, I ask that you pour out your spirit in New Orleans and draw the people to you.

In Jesus name
amen

I have been trying to look to see if Chrio has been on today. I dont think he has.
We have a brother in New Orleans and yes I have been praying today for everyone and our brother in Christ.

I have heard from Chrio39 this evening. He and his family are fine, The tornado hit on the other side of the river. He slept through it. Talk about the peace that passes understanding.

Pray for him anyways, he works too hard. He seems tired.
