An Easter storm system that brought tornadoes to Mississippi and Louisiana has caused multiple fatalities.
A dangerous storm system that had produced at least 13 radar-confirmed tornadoes was battering Mississippi and Louisiana on Sunday night, killing at least six people, damaging homes and other buildings, downing trees and knocking out power to more than 45,000 customers.
Photos of damage began circulating on social media, from down trees and power lines to damaged barns and flattened homes. At one point during a Facebook Livestream, a NWS meteorologist used the phrase"deadly tornado" five times in less than 30 seconds. They repeatedly begged people to take cover, warning the coming tornadoes were"violent" and"catastrophic."
More than 25,000 customers were without power in Louisiana, as well as more than 17,000 in Mississippi,The fierce storm system is threatening more than 4.5 million people. Birmingham, Alabama, and Jackson, Mississippi, were particularly vulnerable, the Storm Prediction Center said.
