  • The Governor of Mississippi, Tate Reeves, has declared a state of emergency after 24 twisters tore through the state killing dozens, injuring others and leaving a trail of destruction likened to a ‘war zone.’
  • The powerful tornadoes spawned from a storm that carved a ferocious path northeastward across Mississippi and parts of Alabama at 80mph, according to AccuWeather.
  • At least 24 people were killed across the two states, a majority in Mississippi with only one victim, a 67-year-old man, recorded in Alabama so far.
