Mississippi Tornado Cluster Leaves Hundreds of Homes Damaged
Tornadoes slam through Mississippi, damaging hundreds of homes, injuring several and prompting swift emergency response as more storms loom.
Powerful storms that included at least one confirmed tornado tore through parts of Mississippi, collapsing hundreds of homes, tearing up trees and downing power lines, authorities said on Thursday. There were no immediate reports of deaths or severe injuries from the storms that struck Wednesday night. A mobile home park in the small community of Bogue Chitto in Lincoln County was severely damaged. “I was just watching TikTok on my bed and thought it was thunder. I went to my living room. I went back to my room, and the room’s gone,” resident Max Mahaffey told WAPT-TV. He said he wasn't injured, but his grandmother hurt her ankle and some of his neighbors suffered cuts and bruises.
