The New Orleans Fire Department has issued a precautionary evacuation in the French Quarter following a reported car explosion.

The impacted area is Toulouse between Bourbon and Dauphine. Those staying on Dauphine Street between St. Louis and Toulouse are also being asked to evacuate.

Around 5 a.m. Monday, neighbors reported hearing an explosion. NOPD says a car on Toulouse and Dauphine was on fire. Neighbors also reported a "gas smell" prompting the precautionary evacuation.


Our receptionist thinks it's terrorists. What do y'all think?

That's what I said. I also said they'd probably pick a better time than 5am on Monday morning if they wanted to do some damage.

Late 60's/early 70's wasn't that uncommon in NO, NYC, Chicago... the mafia used car bombing as a way to eliminate targets, just a tool in the bag to them.

You kids nowadays and your "snitches get stitches" smh. Back in the day we used C4 and dynamite. No stitching that back together!

A law professor at Tulane was getting too close to figuring out who killed Justices Rosenberg and Jensen

Early reports seem to indicate it was just a car parked over New Orleans utilities, and the explosion may have been underground
