Ted Jackson/Times-Picayune. A young man checks out a flooded Toyota Highlander left parked along the Mandeville Lakefront in southern Louisiana. The car was floating and its horn was blaring as Tropical Storm Isaac battered the region with strong winds and high tides.

As slow-moving tropical storm Isaac moves away from New Orleans, surrounding areas of Louisiana are expected to see almost two feet of rain and more dangerous floods by the end of the week, while seven tornadoes have spun off from Isaac in Mississippi and Alabama so far.

A tornado that touched down in Gulfport, Miss. has caused the most damage, where significant destruction to homes has been reported. Carlos Redmond, a spokesman for Harrison County Emergency Management said they're still assessing the damage.
