| By Bob Warren Carjacking arrests: Four teens have been arrested in connection with Monday’s carjacking death in Mid-City. The arrests were made after the parents of two of the teens turned them in, police said at a news conference this morning. The carjackers dragged a 73-year-old woman to her death along Bienville Street as horrified bystanders rushed to help. Here’s the latest from Jillian Kramer.

Rain, thunder, maybe tornadoes: Speaking of storms, batten the hatches, hunker down, or do whatever it is you do when the weather turns ugly. The experts tell us to expect some really nasty stuff this afternoon and evening. Stay safe, friends.
