A deadly front that drove a line of severe storms and tornadoes through much of the South was rolling east on Sunday with more wild, dangerous weather.
Wind gusts of 60-70 mph could accompany the storms, more than enough to topple trees and power lines, she said. Mississippi was also hard hit. Authorities in Monroe County said Roy Ratliff, 95, was killed when a tree fell on his mobile home, and several people were missing and several homes were damaged in Hamilton, a rural hamlet of about 500 people 45 miles northeast of Starkville.
Starkville is home to Mississippi State University, and thousands of the school's 21,000-plus students were huddled in basements and hallways as the storms roared by. The school's crisis team was assessing the damage, spokesman Sid Salter said Sunday, adding that damage appeared to be minimal.— Tornado Trackers April 13, 2019 "Kudos to for excellent work keeping our students and staff safe," Salter said.
