New Orleans Man Captures Tornado On Facebook Live

NEW ORLEANS (CBSLA.com) — A New Orleans man Thursday went live via Facebook in the middle of a tornado.

The brief, but destructive storm caused a half-mile of damage.

When the storm passed, he and his son came across a collapsed building, and found a man buried in debris.

That man they rescued wasn't seriously hurt, and neither was anyone else. Two people sustained minor injuries.

The intense storm, according to the Associated Press, caused at least two abandoned homes to collapse. It also toppled trees and downed some power lines.
