A sprawling winter storm was expected to unleash ice, snow and strong winds across the U.S. Northeast on Thursday after spawning dozens of tornadoes that killed three people and left behind a trail of destruction in the South.
A woman was killed when a tornado destroyed her house west of New Orleans, while a mother and her son lost their lives when a twister ripped through a rural town in northwest Louisiana, state officials said.
In Gretna, Louisiana, a city of 17,000 people south of New Orleans, a twister ravaged at least 30 homes and businesses that will have to be demolished, officials said at a news conference on Thursday. Some 300 miles north, in Farmerville, Louisiana, a tornado truck an apartment complex and mobile home park, injuring about 20 people, a police spokesperson told CNN.
