President Joe Biden issued an emergency declaration for Mississippi early Sunday, making federal funding available to the areas hardest hit.
ROLLING FORK, Miss. — Help began pouring into one of the poorest regions of the U.S. after a deadly tornado wrought a path of destruction in the Mississippi Delta, even as furious new storms Sunday struck Georgia, where two tigers briefly escaped their badly damaged safari park.
"Sharkey County, Mississippi, is one of the poorest counties in the state of Mississippi, but we're still resilient," Rolling Fork Mayor Eldridge Walker said Sunday."I feel confident that we're going to come back and build this community back bigger and better for our families and that's what we're hoping and that's what we're looking to do."
"Many buildings damaged, people trapped," the agency said on Facebook. In nearby West Point, roads, including Interstate Highway 85, were blocked by debris."If you do not have to get on the roads this morning please do not travel." Based on early data, the tornado received a preliminary EF-4 rating, the National Weather Service office in Jackson said late Saturday in a tweet. An EF-4 tornado has top wind gusts between 166 mph and 200 mph , according to the service. The Jackson office cautioned it was still gathering information on the tornado.
"Cried last night, cried this morning," she said, looking around at flattened homes."They said you need to take cover, but it happened so fast a lot of people didn't even get a chance to take cover."
