At least three people are dead in Mississippi as severe weather and strong tornadoes moved across the Deep South Sunday evening.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency confirmed one fatality in Walthall County, about 50 miles west of Hattiesburg, and two fatalities in Lawrence County, about 35 miles to the north.
Tornadoes were reported in both counties. At least five homes were destroyed in Walthall County and other injuries were reported.
Rescue crews were searching homes in Jones County, where damage was reported to multiple homes and commercial buildings. Paul Sheffield, the county's emergency management director, told weather.com in a phone interview that several people were injured, some seriously. Sheffield said four people were unaccounted for.
Photos posted to social media showed severe weather and damage across several other parts of Mississippi, where two long-track tornadoes followed similar paths early Sunday evening.
