JACKSON, United States, March 26 — Search efforts were underway Saturday after at least 25 people were killed by devastating tornadoes that ripped across the southern US state of Mississippi, tearing off roofs, smashing cars and flattening entire neighbourhoods.
Resident Shanta Howard described to local TV how residents had to help remove the dead from the wreckage. Fatalities also occurred in Humphreys, Carroll and Monroe counties, the emergency management agency said. “We will do everything we can to help. We will be there as long as it takes,” he said in a statement.
The National Weather Service issued a rare tornado emergency for Rolling Fork and surrounding areas at 9:00 pm Friday, warning people to seek shelter from life-threatening conditions and forecasting golf ball-sized hail.
