A Chalmette, Louisiana resident captured the tornado that tore through New Orleans on Tuesday night.

A'large and extremely dangerous' tornado tore through parts of New Orleans and its suburbs Tuesday night, flipping cars, ripping off rooftops and tossing a home with a family inside onto the middle of a street. Authorities say at least one person was killed and several other were injured.

Parts of St. Bernard Parish, which borders New Orleans to the southeast, appeared to take the brunt of the severe weather's fury, and that is where the fatality occurred. St. Bernard Parish officials have not given any details about the person who died.

Several buildings were either damaged or destroyed. On Wednesday afternoon, tornado survey teams from the National Weather Service initially concluded that damage was consistent with "at least" an E-3 tornado with winds of 136 to 165 miles per hour.
