An 85-year-old woman died in the city's Gentilly neighborhood, one of the areas hit hardest by Katrina 18 months earlier. Stella Chambers died when the twister slammed into her trailer, ripping it and their newly renovated home apart and scattering debris about 200 feet to the Industrial Canal levee. Another storm cell hit south-central Louisiana, damaging buildings in New Iberia and on the outskirts of Breaux Bridge in St Martin Parish, but it caused less damage and there were no reports of injuries. In the New Orleans area, trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following Hurricane Katrina were tossed around, homes collapsed, and the wind tore the roof off a hotel across the river in Westwego. At least ten structures were destroyed and at least ten to 15 houses damaged in New Orleans, said James Ross, a spokesman for Mayor Ray Nagin. The trailer serving as the fire house for the city's Engine 12 flipped over, injuring three firefighters. Tulane Hospital reported only bruises and scrapes, according to a news release from the mayor's office. Mike Wiener, spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said assessment teams were in the areas affected by the storm. Insurance claims were being reported steadily Tuesday morning, though it was still too early to report how many homes were affected, company representatives said. About 20-thousand people were without power in New Orleans, Westwego, and Metairie, a spokesman for Entergy Corp. said. Public, private and parochial schools in Westwego and affected parts of New Orleans closed for the day. Xavier University in New Orleans shut down for the day because it had no power, said spokesman Warren Bell. Keyword-severe weather tornado

SOUNDBITE (English) Major Arnold Strong, National Guard spokesman, from the Oregon National Guard: "The challenge is all critical lines of communication between, Alexandria, Lake Charles, New Orleans and back and forth are covered with debris and lots of them are submerged. I heard this morning that part of I-210 (interstate road) on overpass was collapsed because of the pressure on the ring. So that limits lines of communication that's one of the reasons we have five engineering battalions there in South West Louisiana dealing with it right now." 22. Various shots of homeless woman in downtown New Orleans STORYLINE Hurricane Rita made landfall early on Saturday as a Category 3 storm just east of Sabine Pass, on the Texas-Louisiana line, more than 275 miles (440 kilometres) from New Orleans. There was widespread flooding in New Orleans, with some districts under several feet of water. But meteorologists said the gravest concern was in southwestern Louisiana communities, particularly the port city of Lake Charles. Lake Charles was a virtual ghost town as day broke on Saturday, its residents among up to 500-thousand people in southwestern Louisiana who headed north. The hurricane centre had no information about conditions in Lake Charles at landfall, but footage overnight showed hurricane winds, fallen trees and downed powerlines. The city of Westwego, on the Mississippi Rover, experienced floods too, with trailer parts under water and streets around the city deserted. In New Orleans, water poured through gaps in the Industrial Canal levee, which engineers had tried to repair after Katrina's floodwaters left 80 percent of the city under water. The rushing water spilled east into St. Bernard Parish, and south of the city in low-lying Jefferson Parish, a storm surge of six to seven feet (about two metres) swamped some neighbourhoods, including the city's Ninth Ward, which was slammed by Hurricane Katrina last month and has been all but empty ever since. The water covered piles of rubble and mud-caked cars, rising swiftly to the top of first-floor windows. The additional flooding brought by Hurricane Rita also would complicate the search for the dead left by Hurricane Katrina. Downtown New Orleans escaped the worst of Hurricane Rita, getting less rain than expected - though forecasters cautioned that more could come. Major Arnold Strong, National Guard spokesman, from the Oregon National Guard said that submerged lines of communication were posing a challenge for route clearance. KEYWORD - HURRICANE RITA
