JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Mississippi Emergency Management Agency is surveying damage from storms that came through Central Mississippi on both Sunday and Tuesday.
Much information still needs to be gathered from Tuesday’s storms. So far, just two counties submitted preliminary reports to MEMA:
Rankin - 4 homes affected
Warren - 7 homes affected
Significant damage also occurred in Hinds, Madison and Leake counties, among others. Much of the damage stems from uprooted trees and damaged power lines.
