Tornado Rips up North Mississippi

A tornado ripped through Rolling Fork, Silver City, and Amory last night. A minimum of 23 dead. I stayed in Amory for 5 months and worked in the area for parts of 2 years while making college https://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2023/03/25/tornado-devastates-mississippi-leaving-at-least-23-dead-across-state/70048036007/

Rolling Fork is West in the Delta and Amory is East not far from Alabama. The majority of the deaths were in Rolling Fork.

Big story about this on ABC News tonight.  One couple was sheltering in a bathtub, thrown a ways, and their brick home was completely leveled.  Damn.

Rolling Fork is Squashed Spork, completely gone. That is also one of the poorest parts of a not so wealthy state. Several other towns were heavily damaged though the only one that I am real familiar with is Amory. I stayed in Amory several months while I was working on building the last section of the Natchez Trace Parkway and The Tennessee Tombigbe Waterway. 1979 and trying to get tuition money for engineering school.
