A powerful storm has torn across Mississippi, killing at least 25 people there, and another that hit Alabama levelled dozens of buildings and spawned at least one tornado. 7NEWS
US President Joe Biden described the images from Mississippi as “heartbreaking” and said in a statement he had spoken with Reeves and offered his condolences and full federal support for the recovery.
“To those impacted by these devastating storms, and to the first responders and emergency personnel working to help their fellow Americans, we will do everything we can to help,” Biden said. “We will be there as long as it takes. We will work together to deliver the support you need to recover.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency director will travel to Mississippi and the Red Cross is helping to set up shelters for people whose homes were destroyed.
Mississippi’s emergency management agency said the death toll had risen to 25, with dozens more injured. Four people who had been reported missing earlier have been located.“My city is gone, but we are resilient,” Walker said. “We are going to come back strong.”
