The saddest part of this is the missing persons calls. People who survived the tornado & cant find their loved ones… 💔

Authorities in Rolling Fork MS have officially declared a ‘mass casualty event’.

As someone’s who’s seen it first-hand, up close & personal i can only describe it with one word: Apocalyptic.

So far, we know that 7 people are confirmed to have lost their lives tonight in Rolling Fork, MS. Many are still missing. Several other towns are equally devastated but no casualty reports. The numbers are going to grow. This is bad…

The damage in the town of Amory, MS is much worse according to Jeff Piotrowski.

I get complaints a lot about switching from politics & news to cover weather; Vince is right- this is deadly serious. While many people had their weather radios turned off & were trying to get a good night’s sleep, a violent tornado came into their communities and put thousands of lives in peril. Many didnt survive. The coverage here & other places is meant to reach people, who can potentially reach others directly in danger & warn them. Or reach people who can help in an Emergency. People, buy a weather radio. Turn it on & leave it on. Put an app on your phone & put up with the annoying alerts. Know what to do when the alarm is sounded. Its the difference between surviving, and being a casualty. Protect yourself & your families.

Twenty three people lost their lives last night to this super cell that produced violent tornadoes that were on the ground tracking for close to 100 miles. As search & rescue efforts continue, that number will almost certainly climb. 😢

Rolling Fork MS, Silver City MS, Midnight MS, Amory MS, Smithville AL were struck by a very violent, more than a mile wide tornado. Debris was lofted to over 30,000 feet.

The tornado swallowed the entire town of Rolling Fork.
