A severe line of storms swept across portions of southeast Louisiana and the Mississippi coast on Monday afternoon and into early Tuesday morning. The first wave brought damaging wind, power outages, heavy rainfall and even spawned a tornado in Assumption Parish.
Around midnight, the second line began its trek east across the River Parishes and into the surrounding New Orleans area and into Mississippi. Severe thunderstorms, flash floods and tornado warnings continued throughout the early morning hours.
Residents from around the area submitted photos and videos of the storm-related weather and damage left in its wake.
