Deadly thunderstorms swept across the lower Mississippi Valley, flattening homes and poultry farms and ripping down power lines over the weekend. At least twelve deaths were blamed on the storms and dozens of people were injured. At least a half-dozen tornadoes ripped through Alabama on November 24, killing four people and injuring about 11 others, one critically. The severe weather was part of a line of thunderstorms that spanned the Ohio and Mississippi valleys from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico as a cold front swept through the region. The National Weather Service posted tornado warnings Saturday in Mississippi, western Kentucky and Alabama, and severe storm warnings were issued for parts of those states and Tennessee. The storms in the Delta also ripped the roof off the Bolivar County Correctional Facility. Authorities moved 207 inmates to the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. There were no serious injuries. |
