ROLLING FORK, Miss. — — Storms producing tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and hail up to the size of golf balls were moving through several southern states Friday night with widespread damage and injuries reported in Mississippi from a large tornado.
“Heading to Vicksburg hospital with injured residents of Rolling Fork MS they need emergency personnel NOw,” storm chaser Reed Timmer posted on Twitter. The driver told authorities that the rain made it difficult to see that water from a creek had covered the bridge, Young said. Matt Elliott, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, said severe weather was expected across several states.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards warned of potential tornados reaching the state overnight and urged residents to prepare for severe weather, including damaging winds and hail. The risk of personal vulnerability increases with overnight severe weather as residents are less likely to receive warnings because they are asleep and tornadoes are more difficult to spot, according to the National Weather Service.
