This is what shock and awe looks like in the U.S. Tornadoes
ROLLING FORK, Miss. – Severe storms rumbled across parts of the South on Sunday, two days after violent tornadoes smashed through the Mississippi Delta region – one of the country's poorest areas – gutting rural towns and leaving more than two dozen people dead.
Search and rescue teams continued to dig through the rubble Sunday. At least 25 people died in a twister that stayed on the ground in Mississippi for more than an hour Friday night. Houses were torn from foundations, trees were stripped of branches, cars were flipped like toys, entire blocks were wiped out.
Rolling Fork, about 60 miles northwest of Jackson, suffered such damage that Mayor Eldridge Walker declared bluntly to CNN, "My city is gone."
DEADLY STORMS: Tornadoes rip through Mississippi
Developments:
►Pope Francis offered a special prayer Sunday for the people of Mississippi “hit by a devastating tornado” during his weekly noon blessing in Vatican City.
►President Joe Biden early Sunday issued an emergency declaration for Mississippi, making federal funding available to Carroll, Humphreys, Monroe and Sharkey counties, the areas hardest hit Friday night. Biden called the damage "heartbreaking."
►Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves issued a state of emergency and vowed to help rebuild.
►The Federal Emergency Management Agency said 2,000 homes in Mississippi were damaged or destroyed.
Yes, but Ukraine is the priority of the ruling class and we should now send more money, equipment, and troops to fight in this undeclared war that was caused by some Zealots in power. Humanity and the U.S. citizen will suffer in the long run.
