BEE ROLL. A swarm of honey bees has taken up residence in a tree in the front yard of a home in the St. Roch neighborhood. The homeowner is hoping someone will relocate the bees to a good home. ⁦@WWLTV⁩

We are on our way to the scene right now.

Parish President Archie Chaisson said he’s waiting to speak with federal authorities before releasing the wing number, which will tell us which company the plane belonged to.

[WWL-TV @WWLTV]

The two victims on board are "assumed deceased." Only one wing was visible above water.

UPDATE: Hammond Police say the suspect in Thursday’s alleged kidnapping and rape has been taken into custody.

@WWLTV

[Rachel Handley @RachelHandleyTV]

We just learned from Hammond Police that this attack appears to have been random. They do not believe the suspect and victim knew each other.

I’m not surprised these ended up being an EF4 and EF3. The damage we saw in Tylertown was shocking. It will take a long time for the area to recover from this.

[Chris Franklin WWL-TV @CJohnFranklin]

#Tornadoes: Preliminary data from NWS surveys. The first was on the ground for 43 minutes, covering 35.45 miles! Incredible! The EF4 had max winds of 170 mph, estimated. The second was on the ground for 18 minutes, covering 15.04 miles. The EF3 saw winds of 140 mph. @wwltv

WATCH: They got the mule hitched back up to the first float of Krewe du Vieux then it took off running, pulling the float with it. It came to a stop around the corner.

It doesn’t look like anyone was hit.

@WWLTV

[Rachel Handley @RachelHandleyTV]

WATCH: Holdup at the start of Krewe du Vieux— the mule pulling what looks like the first float just darted off to the side.

Parade still stopped as of now.
