Patrick Smith is a London-based editor and reporter for NBC News Digital.

At least two people died as severe weather hit Louisiana overnight, with storms and tornadoes bringing devastation to southern states and leaving tens of thousands with damaged homes or severed power lines. One person died in unknown circumstances in the outskirts of the town of Henderson, while an unidentified woman was killed when a tree fell onto her trailer in West Baton Rouge, police said.

Pat's Fisherman's Wharf, a popular seafood restaurant founded in 1948, shared footage showing storm damage and piles of rubble. 'We got hit real bad by the tornado,' the restaurant's Facebook page said. St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office also urged people in a Facebook message to not go out sight-seeing amid the wreckage.
