Storm moves to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama triggers severe weather outbreak

In US, a storm that left widespread damage and injuries in its wake in Texas moved into Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama today triggering a regional severe weather outbreak. The state Storm Prediction Center said the affected areas, including the cities of Baton Rouge and Jackson, Mississippi, could see strong tornadoes.

In a joint statement, Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Louisiana Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness said heavy rainfall can occur over the areas, increasing the risk for flooding and causing most damages. The storm already left misery in its wake in Texas, injuring at least four people, officials said.
