's governor declared a state of emergency Wednesday after tornadoes lashed the New Orleans area, flipping vehicles, tossing a house with a family inside to the middle of their street, leaving thousands without power and killing at least one person. A mother in Arabi, in the St. Bernard Parish, described the terrifying moment she felt her house spin a full rotation - and when she emerged, the house was in the street. Standing on top of the wreckage, she frantically screamed for help while her daughter, who was on a breathing machine, was trapped inside. The powerful storm is the latest to devastate a region still reeling from Hurricane Ida last August and Hurricane Katrina nearly 17 years ago.
