The recent storm system that struck Mississippi and Alabama has left at least 26 people dead so far, including 21 in Mississippi alone. The tornado hit Rolling Fork late on Friday night, leaving tens of thousands to bear the full brunt of the twister's fury. The disaster surveillance footage captured several scenes of horror including debris-strewn city streets, rubble where homes, city buildings, and businesses once stood, and devastated communities. According to reports, many residents of Rolling Fork have lost everything after their homes were reduced to piles of wood, while businesses were completely damaged. Drone footage shows how vehicles were thrown around, and trees, splintered and uprooted.

Despite ongoing statewide and federal responses to the disaster, the citizens of Mississippi continue grappling with the aftermath of the deadly tornado. While local organizations and the American Red Cross are accepting donations and volunteers, donation relief shelters are getting over-packed, making the provision of basic necessities very difficult. The government has declared a state of emergency to provide funds and resources for the affected communities' recovery. Currently, another round of storms is expected, which might bring more hail and damaging winds, threatening the millions of Americans that are still recovering from the previous one.
