Tylertown, MS – A powerful tornado tore through Tylertown, Mississippi, on Saturday evening, resulting in the tragic deaths of three individuals and leaving a path of extensive destruction.
According to Tylertown Police Chief Jordan Hill, the tornado, which is believed to be the same storm that previously impacted Kentwood, Louisiana, caused severe structural damage throughout the area.
