Girl survives tornado that dropped house onto street
ARABI, Louisiana (AP) — Authorities say the tornado that ripped through a suburb of New Orleans lifted one house into the air and dropped it onto the middle of a street with a family of three inside.
The parents of a girl climbed out of the wreckage screaming frantically for help.
Their daughter was on a breathing machine and stuck inside.
Firefighters quickly went in to rescue her, and came out carrying her in a blanket.
St. Bernard Parish President Guy McInnis says she's now in a hospital and "doing fine."
