It's about the severe weather again today, with a more thorough update on the Mississippi tornado. The EF-4 rated tornado (on a scale of 0-5) smashed through Rolling Fork, Mississippi, killing dozens of people, and any survivors have lost almost all of their belongings. In fact, the mayor of the town even stated that his town is practically gone after the tornado flattened the town. Over 43,000 people are still out of power in the state as well (plus another 15,000 people out in Alabama), but the power lines are completely gone in Rolling Fork. The storm system is now moving through the south, but it also brought severe weather to the Ohio Valley, where over 120,000 people are still out of power across Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Thankfully, the system is now moving out, but big tornadoes like this are just becoming more and more frequent as spring passes, because spring is prime time for tornadoes to form.
