High Winds Tear Train Off Bridge

http://www.weather.com/news/news/train-off-bridge-near-new-orleans
Thunderstorms carting powerful winds and heavy rain created a jaw-dropping scene in the New Orleans area Monday, as high winds pushed train cars right off an elevated train track.
It happened in Jefferson Parish around 10:30 a.m. A TV crew for WGNO was rolling video of the Huey P. Long Bridge in Elmwood when it happened.
The video shows the heavy rain coming down, and within seconds, the train cars roll off the bridge, and plunge to the ground.
No injuries were reported, but the surrounding area was littered with debris.
