Debris covers a damaged structure in Rolling Fork, Miss,. on Saturday, March 25, 2023. Powerful tornadoes tore through the Deep South on Friday night, killing several people in Mississippi, obliterating dozens of buildings. Powerful tornadoes killed at least 23 people in Mississippi Friday night, destroying dozens of buildings and leaving an especially devastating mark on the town of Rolling Fork, whose mayor declared, “My city is gone.
The rural towns of Silver City and Rolling Fork northwest of Jackson reported destruction as the tornado swept northeast at 70 mph without weakening, racing toward Alabama through towns, including Winona and Amory, into the night. Cornel Knight told The Associated Press that he, his wife and their 3-year-old daughter were at a relative’s home in Rolling Fork when the tornado struck. He said the sky was dark but “you could see the direction from every transformer that blew.”
The Sharkey-Issaquena Community Hospital on the west side of Rolling Fork was damaged, WAPT reported. Rolling Fork and the surrounding area has wide expanses of cotton, corn and soybean fields and catfish farming ponds. More than a half-dozen shelters were opened in the state by emergency officials. This was a supercell, the nasty type of storm that brews the deadliest tornado and most damaging hail in the United States, said University of Northern Illinois University meteorology professor Walker Ashley. What’s more, this was a nighttime one which is “the worst kind,” he said.
