click pics to enlarge
Power lines were down on both side of Hwy 61. Tornado was sighted around 4:30am in this area.
I have no idea what happened to the traffic when this hit.
Most of the poles were laying on the ground but some that were snapped were still standing...scary
Parts of the crumbled work trailer which was located in the Tunica National
Properties Residential Development.
This is a trailer the community uses as an election poll. MS voted this week for the primaries. The trailer was still in the Casino Shoppes Mall parking lot. Now it is on it's side. Oh and by the way the Waffle House is open if you haven't been in awhile.
Intersection at Casino Strip and Old Hwy 61 (by the Krystal)

(On your way to Sam's Town)

Notice the roofers on top of the Exxon.
Also Notice the Canopy is gone from over the gas pumps
The canopy behind the Exxon that was in the front over the gas pumps.
100's of Cars received Extensive Hail damage from golf ball to baseball sized hail.
If anything in it's path had a roof on it, part of it is gone now.
No Injuries that we have heard of were reported.
Casinos are all up and running. I am sure there are roof problems and some cosmetic repairs that is not visible just driving around.
