Deadly tornadoes ravage Mississippi, leaving destruction in their wake.

At least 21 people were killed and thousands lost power after powerful storms and at least one tornado hit Mississippi on Friday night. The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado hit the towns of Silver City as well as Rolling Fork, which one resident described as obliterated following the storm’s devastating path. Search-and-rescue efforts are underway, and the state has activated its medical support efforts. The threat of severe storms persisted overnight for certain areas across northern Alabama and middle Tennessee, which faced tornado watches and warnings early Saturday.
