12:40 p.m.: Remarkable, on-the-spot video from WGNO-TV of the train falling off the track at Huey P. Long Bridge embedded below; see our report here.

A really bad storm going through New Orleans area.
FEMA better by there now.
WHOA!
That I can say I have never seen before!
That sucker looks like it’s on its way to Florida soon ;/
Is this going to be Bush’s fault, too?
Moving on...
That is some serious wind to be able to blow a train off the tracks.
It appears to be weakening but that doesn’t mean it won’t get stronger.
The storm moved through much more quickly than I believe they predicted.
Additionally, we had some strong storms move through the mobile area this past weekend. They moved through the area much more quickly than I believe predicted. Two people sailing on Mobile Bay died and five are still missing.
I really hope it does weaken.
We had one come through yesterday he in FL that had 60-70 mph straight line winds that were just incredible.
That storm apparently capsized a number of boats in Mobile Bay and killed a number of people who were out on the water for some event yesterday.
But yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a train being blown off the Huey P before.
Bush’s Fault in 3, 2, 1...
I live in Mobile. The storm over the weekend came in very quickly. I believe it arrived much sooner than expected.
The worst part of the storm today went south of the Mobile area. I hope for the sake of those in Florida that its not so bad when it gets there.
Bush’s Fault in 3, 2, 1...
Bush did make a recent speech in private where he was critical of Hussein Obama. Clearly, it is Bush’s fault.
That train falling must have made a hell of s thud when it landed. Wow.
That train falling must have made a hell of s thud when it landed. Wow.
I would have been terrified if it landed near me.
That bridge is over 80 years old. It’s been hit many times by ships and barges.
We got stuck on top once when my dad’s truck stalled. The lanes are very narrow. It’s both a train and passenger car bridge over the Mississippi.
You have to say a prayer when crossing that thing.
Now it will be Jindal’s fault.
For this one Bush will have to share discredit because it was obviously Dick Cheney’s top secret weather machine that generated this attack on the chocolate city.
We need one of these to roll through Baltimore, MD.
One way to sweep the streets clean.
