The National Weather Service says three tornadoes have touched down in southeastern Louisiana, including a twister that injured one person in St. Tammany Parish.
The tornadoes developed in a line of thunderstorms that moved across the state early Wednesday.
Forecaster Mike Shields says a tornado touched down about 10 miles southwest of Bush in St. Tammany Parish around 5:20 a.m. — injuring one person, damaging a house, destroying a trailer and knocking down trees. Emergency officials say the woman suffered a cut on her head.
Firefighters in Lacombe reported a twister that took the roof off a house just before 5 a.m. And the weather service says a meteorologist reported a tornado on the north side of Kenner near Lake Pontchartrain shortly after 6 a.m. No damage was reported.
