Mississippi Tornadoes

[gunsandgunsmithing]

Sounds like parts of Ms got hammered by f4 or greater tornadoes overnight. At lest 10 dead already and that number is likely way low at this stage.
Prayers for those affected and that our Ms members on here are all well.

I have got friends in Ms. I pray for them and all their neighbors down there. Trying to get in touch with them right now.
Devastating storms.

'There's nothing left': Deep South tornadoes kill 26

Rescuers raced Saturday to search for survivors and help hundreds of people left homeless after a powerful tornado cut a devastating path through Mississippi, killing at least 25 people and injuring dozens.

While perhaps due to other things, the nearby National Weather Service in Jackson, MS, went "off the air" about midnight last night. Not reporting data since then ... at least, not onto their NWS website (for the Jackson / Hawkins Field area).

Though, their Twitter remarks kept going ...

And federal aid will get there before the dust settles. How is this different from Ohio?

I live about 35 miles from Rolling Fork,Ms where the worst damage is and it looks like a bomb was dropped on the entire city!! Praying for those affected! So far 25 were killed including a small child and her father!! So heartbreaking!!

Tornado alley down here for sure, and it doesnt matter what season it is either. The only safe time of year is when its 85 degrees at 6 AM with a high of 95 at 1 PM. Guess what it is then????? Hurricane season! Prayers for everyone across the Great State of Mississippi that were affected by Friday's tornadic activity.

I've traveled this country as an insurance adjuster and you never get use to seeing this, storms or floods, it rips peoples lives apart. You really can't imagine what it is until you see or feel it first hand. My heart goes out to them.
