Mississippi was hit hard by severe weather for the second Sunday in a row, and at least one fatality has been confirmed.

According to the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, an individual in Marion County died during yesterday’s storms.

Charles Peek, a storm chaser and reporter for The Weather Channel, confirmed that a tornado touched down in the area, destroying several mobile homes.

Yesterday’s storms occurred just one week after devastating tornados, including the widest tornado in Mississippi history, left 14 people dead on Easter Sunday. President Trump recently approved a ‘Federal Disaster Declaration’ to assist with recovery efforts following the storms.
