From Marine One, as they flew from Jackson to the area hardest hit by last week's storm, the president and first lady Jill Biden got a view of the devastation across acres of farmland — destroyed homes, toppled trees and piles of debris.
"I know there's a lot of pain and it's hard to believe in a moment like this: This community is going to be rebuilt, and rebuilt and built back better than it was before," Mr. Biden assured residents.
