just got this in my email.
The National Weather Service has dropped most severe weather watches and warnings for the New Orleans metro area, but not before at least three tornados touched down south and west of the city Tuesday afternoon.
Emergency management officials confirm tornados touched down in Terrytown and Myrtle Grove on the Westbank of Jefferson Parish, and in Montz, St. Charles Parish. In all three cases, there was no damage or reports of injuries.
There were also several reports of funnel clouds that did not touch the ground, including one at the intersection of Causeway and Veterans Boulevard in Metairie.
Immediately following the storms, some 20,000 people lost power. Entergy reported 9,000 outages, mostly in New Orleans East. There were 9,000 outages reported by the Washington/St. Tammany Electric Cooperative, and scattered outages reported by CLECO in Slidell, Mandeville, Madisonville and Covington.
Eyewitnesses also reported the facade of the former Texaco building at Canal and LaSalle Streets was torn off by high winds. New Orleans Police blocked off part of Canal Street to keep pedestrians and traffic out of danger.
