A large tornado ripped through New Orleans on Tuesday, killing at least one person, destroying homes and knocking down power lines, media reported, in another setback for area that has yet to fully recover from last year’s Hurricane Ida.

A dark funnel cloud touched down in the city and plowed through neighbourhoods, pictures on social media showed, with damage reported in the communities off Arabi, Gretna and St Bernard Parish.

There were no official reports of the number of people injured.
