Fox News
Heavy rainfall and severe weather conditions pounded Louisiana on Tuesday night, leaving thousands without power, tearing off roofs and forcing the emergency rescue of six people.
Hazardous winds, lightning and ping-pong ball-sized hail came following days of tornadoes and flooding. Part of a Metairie elementary school's roof was ripped off its foundation, which NOLA.com said was likely due to intense winds following the squall line of the storm. The local outlet also reported that the New Orleans area saw a record rainfall of 3.5 inches and the city's Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport experienced wind gusts of 48 mph while the Lakefront Airport had a gust of 52 mph.More Related News
