ARABI, Louisiana (77WABC) — Louisiana is sending 300 National Guard troops to the New Orleans area where tornadoes flipped cars, ripped off rooftops and killed at least one person. Authorities say the tornado that ripped through a suburb of New Orleans lifted one house into the air and dropped it onto the middle of a street with a family of three inside. The parents of a girl climbed out of the wreckage screaming frantically for help. Their daughter was on a breathing machine and stuck inside. Firefighters quickly went in to rescue her, and came out carrying her in a blanket. St. Bernard Parish President Guy McInnis says she’s now in a hospital and “doing fine.”
