Tornadoes fill New Orleans skies, massive storms before the eyes, seeking to take homes and lives. The whistle warning loudly cries. Two seconds flat this force arrives and like a freight train load it drives. Lower ground's where safety lies, while in the air large debris flies. To take a life this mean storm tries. Houses wrecked but no one dies. Katrina folks make grateful sighs, and bid the storms their glad goodbyes. Tornadoes Devastate New Orleans Neighborhoods Hit by Katrina 2/8/17

Cyclonic storms can be so destructive, a great monorhyme on the subject, Janis and a great tribute too:)
