School closures due to wintry-weather storms in South Dakota on Tuesday, Oct. 8. Three deaths and one person injured in St. Charles Parish

In South Dakota schools will be closed on Wednesday due to the winter weather in the area, according to the school district.

For Thursday, the storms are expected to weaken slightly, but there is a risk for severe weather for much of Florida, coastal Georgia and coastal Carolinas. Cities like Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston could see damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes, Shackelford said.

The city of Gretna, located across the Mississippi River from New Orleans, was likely to have been damaged by a tornado.

“All of a sudden that wind was so heavy, it broke my back door,” Andrews said. “The lights went off and all we could hear was glass popping everywhere.”

She said she and her daughter ran into a hallway as water came through the roof and glass shattered around them. They ended up taking shelter in their bathroom.

We hugged each other after we got in the tub. We were just praying and calling on Jesus. Her family survived the storm but were left with damage to their home.

In the Algiers area of New Orleans, four residents were taken to area hospitals as the storm battered the area on the west bank of the Mississippi River, Collin Arnold, director of the New Orleans Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness told CNN.

Los Angeles, Calif., Thousands of victims of a devastating earthquake caused by a large atmospheric-river landspout over the last few months

Tornadoes are rare in California, with fewer than 10 per year on average, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Most tornadoes in the state are short lived.

They are called landspouts because they are similar to a waterspout. These tornadoes are different from traditional tornadoes, like those that occur in the Central Plains and Southeast. Landspout can cause damage, but they are usually not extensive or severe.

California has been plagued with at least 12 atmospheric rivers that have brought devastating flooding and Hurricane-force winds over the last few months. An atmospheric river is like a fire hose that carries saturated air from the tropics to higher latitudes, dumping relentless rain or snow.
