Tornado in Mississippi

Severe weather has been hitting Mississppi the past few days and they have reported tornadoes that have touched down.  The tornadoes have caused a lot of distruction and have left 30% of the effected area without power.  This causes a lot of problems in mitigation because without power it is hard to communicate and and get things done.  Also, there are 17 people that are injured, and there are already emergancy crews that are trying to determine the amount of damage that the tornadoes have caused.  While there has been a lot of damage I think this area will be very resilient because they already have help which is important in the "Golden Hours".
