10 Killed as Tornado Strikes Mississippi, At least 10 people are dead in Mississippi following a tornado outbreak that stretched across parts of the southeast.
The deadliest of the tornados swept across several Mississippi counties around mid-day, taking direct aim at Yazoo City.
Many homes and business also destroyed or heavily damaged. The skies turned black and filled with driving rain, followed by a massive funnel cloud. At least 16 counties were ravaged by the storms. Some of the most severe damage is in Yazoo City, about 40 miles north of Jackson. Homes, businesses and lives were ripped apart. The storm system continued to cut a path to the east, where stunned survivors walked through what just minutes earlier was their neighborhood, now completely wiped away.
