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.
In Kentwood, officials reported damage to at least 30 homes before the storm moved into Mississippi.
Authorities have confirmed that the deceased include two adults and one minor, all of whom were in two separate mobile homes on Bethlehem Loop near the Darbun community when the tornado struck.
Additionally, multiple individuals sustained injuries, though the extent of those injuries has not yet been disclosed.
Emergency crews are actively engaged in rescue and recovery operations as they work to locate survivors and assess the full extent of the damage.
“Our top priority at this time is ensuring that anyone who may still be trapped or in need of medical assistance receives immediate help,” Chief Hill stated.
Authorities are urging residents to avoid the affected areas to allow emergency personnel to carry out their operations efficiently.
Power outages and downed communication lines have further complicated recovery efforts.
Local, state, and federal agencies are coordinating relief efforts, and emergency shelters have been established for displaced residents.
