Tornadoes Damage Parts of New Orleans
Tornadoes tore through New Orleans neighborhoods that had been hit hard by Hurricane Katrina, collapsing at least one previously damaged house and battering the airport, authorities said.
Roofs were ripped off, utility poles came down and a radio tower fell near a major thoroughfare, but no serious injuries were reported.
Electricity was knocked out at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, grounding passenger flights and leaving travelers to wait in a dim terminal powered by generators. The storm also ripped off part of a concourse roof.
