Volatile storm system ripping across US kills at least three people in Louisiana, spinning up tornadoes battering the southeastern state from north to south
Forecasters said a severe threat of more tornadoes would continue overnight into parts of Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.
The punishing storms barrelled eastward on Wednesday after killing a mother and son in the northwestern part of the state a day earlier. New Orleans emergency director Collin Arnold said business and residences in the city suffered significant wind damage, largely on the Mississippi River's west bank. One home collapsed."Several homes and businesses have suffered catastrophic damage," the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said in a statement from that large suburb west of New Orleans.
Forecasters now expect the vast system to hobble the upper Midwest with ice, rain and snow for days and also move into the central Appalachians and Northeast.
