A tornado tore through a Mississippi town on Sunday as part of a
severe storm that caused significant damage to buildings, downed trees
and left dozens injured.
On Monday, residents shaken by the tornado were waking up to a day of
removing trees, patching roofs and giving thanks for their
survival. Daylight also offered emergency management officials the
chance to get a better handle on the damage that stretched across
several counties.
It was raining at first light Monday and people began trying to
salvage what they could in one damaged neighborhood. Some people walked
around fallen trees, power lines, smashed cars and other debris to carry
belongings away.
The twister traveled down one of Hattiesburg's main streets and
mangled homes, commercial buildings and structures on the campus of the
University of Southern Mississippi. Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says
more than 60 people were injured in the storms.
