Never before in the history of MANKIND have we seen twin tornadoes (except in the movie Twister). It must be global warming.

Water spouts are often seen in pairs. I've seen a pair on the great lakes. They're very similar to tornadoes, but aren't tornadoes. They're also much weaker.

Right, they aren't tornadoes, they are caused by weather conditions over the water while real tornadoes are caused by the interaction of red necks in trailer parks.

Dozens injured, thousands without power after seven monster tornadoes wreak havoc in New Orleans
Wednesday 8th February, 2017 - A strong tornado hit New Orleans in southeast Louisiana on Tuesday, overturning cars, destroying homes and injuring several dozen people, some seriously.


According to Gov. John Bel Edwards, seven confirmed tornadoes were recorded in at least seven different parishes - Livingston, Tangipahoa, Orleans, Ascension, Jefferson, St. James and St. Tammany. The tornados damaged dozens of homes and businesses and leaving thousands without power.

According to reports, an estimated 17,000 people are suffering due to loss of power and it could take 3-5 days before power is restored. "But the Lord has blessed us because not a single fatality has been reported or confirmed as this time," Edwards said, despite the massive destruction. Edwards said that a primary search of the disaster area found no one found trapped or injured, but a secondary search was planned to make sure and better assess the damage. He confirmed that by late Tuesday at least 20 injuries were reported, with some being serious.

A state of emergency was declared by the governor, who also took an aerial tour to take stock of the situation. "I am heartbroken to once again see Louisiana families suffering in the wake of devastating tornadoes today," said Gov. Edwards. Adding, “We are working tirelessly to ensure that every citizen affected by this storm receives the resources they need as quickly as possible." Officials have also warned the public of large shards of metal hanging from trees and partially toppled power poles posing a hazard, urging them to steer clear of the destruction. Further, Space agency NASA’s Michoud facility in New Orleans also suffered some damage.

The facility reportedly supports many NASA next generation projects part of the agencies space exploration program, including a heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System and the Orion spacecraft. However, officials confirmed that the deep-space equipment being built there did not appear to be damaged. A number of areas in the facility lost parts of their roof or walls and a building where the rockets were built also suffered some damage. Fortunately, the hardware and tooling used in the Orion and Space Launch System were not damaged.

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the city suffered "a terrible blow." "We had a very serious tornado touch down in the New Orleans area," the mayor said at a press conference from the scene. "We think it touched down at Chef and Wilson and really crisscrossed Chef Highway as far north as Dwyer Road. There is substantial damage, a lot of property damage across the entire way." “I want to think we've been through many things together, and we will get through this together with prayers," he told reporters.

The National Weather service said in a statement that severe thunderstorms were predicted to continue from the central Gulf Coast region to the Ohio Valley ahead of a strong cold front. The weather service further warned that very large hail, strong winds and tornadoes will be possible in the lower Mississippi River Valley and central Gulf Coast states through Tuesday evening.
