Among the dead were a man and his daughter, who were killed in the house they were sheltering in with his wife and two other children, Monroe County Coroner Alan Gurley told NBC News.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency confirmed the death toll in a tweet early Saturday. It said that dozens had been injured and four people were missing after “last night’s tornadoes.” It did not say how many tornadoes struck.
The National Weather Service warned of a confirmed tornado on the ground headed toward Rolling Fork around 8:05 p.m. In the Silver City area, all Humphreys County sheriff's deputies were responding, and jail personnel were tasked with assisting dispatch and asking for aid. “The loss will be felt in these towns forever. Please pray for God’s hand to be over all who lost family and friends,” Gov. Tate Reeves tweeted. In an earlier tweet he said the state had activated medical support and was surging ambulances to where they were needed.
