BRANDON, Miss. (WJTV) – We’re following the clean-up underway in Brandon where the Legacy community, which is right off Highway 80 on the Eastside of Brandon, has its entire main entrance blocked by snapped power poles and active electrical wires to trees coming down as winds reached over 75mph.
Dozens of homeowners either had no way of getting home or stuck at their house after Tuesday’s tornado system sent half a dozen electrical poles and wires tumbling down on top of their Highway 80 entrance.
“It blew it down and tore it up,” Robert Carter said.
Rankin County experienced around 40 instances through the afternoon of trees and power lines getting knocked down. Leaving about 3,000 customers in the dark.

PEORIA An appellate court has ruled that a local judge erred two years ago when he dismissed a lawsuit against the Peoria Park District by a couple who say they were injured at Camp Wokanda.
The panel of judges from the 3rd District Appellate Court in Ottawa held last year, that now-retired Judge Michael McCuskey erred when he threw out a 2017 lawsuit filed by Michael Torres and Jaimie Gibson against the district. The ruling was recently officially published by the court.
McCuskey had sided with the park district, which filed a motion to dismiss the suit. Motions to dismiss are fairly common within civil proceedings and tend to focus on legal technicalities, not the substantive merits of a case.
