The Latest: Strong storm winds tear off roofs, pull down bricks from some buildings in a northeast Mississippi town.
Strong storm winds tore away roofs and pulled down bricks from some buildings in a northeast Mississippi town, but authorities say it’s too early to tell if the damage was caused by a tornado or by straight-line winds.
National Weather Service meteorologist Marlene Mickelson, based in Memphis, Tennessee, says there were no reports of deaths or injuries though the winds were strong enough to cause the building damage. There were also some reports of area power outages. Prairie County Sheriff Rick Hickman says he had no immediate information of anyone hurt. But he says several power lines are down, at least one home was damaged and several buildings were destroyed. Goudsward said teams would be sent to assess the damage and determine the strength of the tornadoes.
