tornados

Multiple St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in South Louisiana have been postponed due to the threat of strong winds and possible tornadoes this weekend.

Much of southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi remain under a tornado watch until 8 p.m. with severe weather in the forecast Wednesday.

As national attention wanes and volunteers head to other disasters, residents of Rolling Fork and nearby Silver City have been left to recover on their own.

A tornado was reportedly spotted in Lacombe on Wednesday evening, just a week after another tornado touched down in that part of Lacombe during a severe weather event.

Only a week after tornadoes and thunderstorms hit southeast Louisiana, another severe weather event is trekking toward Baton Rouge and New Orleans, resulting in closures Wednesday. Shelters were also made available in select parishes.

On Tuesday, a tornado caused damage to parts of New Orleans. For some, it's the second time they'll need to rebuild homes since Hurricane Katrina swamped the city in 2005.
