In the US state of Mississippi, at least six people were killed by tornadoes on Sunday. The severe storms have also wreaked havoc in surrounding states.
At least 300 homes have been damaged by the extreme weather in Mississippi and neighboring Louisiana. Thousands of homes ran out of power. At a local airport in Louisiana, 30 million dollars (27 million euros) was damaged in aircraft in a hangar.
The tornadoes created dilemmas for security officials to consider whether or not people in lockdown because of the corona virus should go to bomb shelters.
However, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) was firm: “Don’t let the virus hinder you from taking cover,” the AMS said in a statement. And added that in a bunker you also have to stick to the one and a half meter scheme.
The entire south of the United States has to deal with extreme weather that can continue on Monday.
“By the grace of God, early reports show only a few minor injuries. Pray for our city! Many neighbors & friends suffer catastrophic damage. We are hurting; but not broken. Times like this remind us WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER! Together we we will rebuild. ”- Mayor Jamie Mayo
