Mississippi governor says severe storms have killed 6 people in his state and 3 people are missing
- Fierce storms swept across the U.S., causing significant damage in Mississippi, where at least 16 people were killed and three people were injured in Grenada County.
- Governor Tate Reeves reported that a storm cell entered Issaquena County Friday night and exited in Itawamba County, leading to damage in six counties: Calhoun, Carroll, Grenada, Humphreys, Leflore, and Montgomery.
- Grenada was the hardest hit area, with major damage reported in the Elliot and Gore Springs communities as crews worked to clear roads after the storms knocked out power to about 25,000 people.
- Adding to the weather concerns, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake with a depth of 10.5 kilometers struck near Magee just after 1 p.m. On Saturday, an area already dealing with multiple tornadoes.
- Robert Holman described the Elliott storm as sounding "like a freight train," while three tornadoes are believed to have touched down in the vicinity on Saturday, though no fatalities were reported from that storm.
