Pelicans, Saints Deliver Supplies For Tornado Relief
Players from the New Orleans Pelicans and Saints are helping their city after powerful tornados slammed the community this week ... by delivering tons of supplies to a relief fund.
The Orleans area was hit hard on Tuesday night with storms that produced horrifying tornadoes -- some with wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph.
The dangerous tornadoes left one person dead, several injured and extensive damage in its path.
At least 1 person is dead and many are injured after this tornado ripped through New Orleans last night. A breakout of 40 tornados tore through TX, LA and Mississippi.#NewOrleansTornado pic.twitter.com/KfzxUtJSTm

The Pelicans and Saints announced they would come together and host a donation drive at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center for the victims of the devastating storms.
You can see Tanoh Kpassagnon -- defensive end of the Saints -- and Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall and Herbert Jones of the Pelicans carry huge bins of supplies to the event.
Former Saints QB Drew Brees -- who has donated millions to the state of Louisiana -- was heartbroken over the destruction ... and asked everyone for their prayers.
"Praying for everyone affected by last night’s tornado through Texas and Louisiana," the 43-year-old said on Wednesday via IG.
"May God watch over our city, first responders, and those suffering. May we all come together to support each other during this time."
#PrayersUp
