Tornadoes Blow Through New Orleans



Tornadoes early Thursday tore through New Orleans neighborhoods
that were hit hard by Hurricane Katrina just five months earlier,
collapsing at least one previously damaged house and battering the
airport, authorities said.

Roofs were ripped off and utility poles came down, but no serious
injuries were reported.

"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.

Electricity was knocked out at Louis Armstrong International Airport,
grounding 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.more coming)
