COLUMBIA, Miss. (AP, abc24.com) — At least two people were hurt and numerous trees and utility lines pulled down when a tornado swept through southern Marion County.
Ed Agre, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Jackson, says the twister touched down just after 4 p.m. Tuesday It destroyed at least one mobile home and heavily damaged a few homes in the area. Agre did not have any details on how the people were injured.
Agre says a survey team will head to the area Wednesday to collect data that will help determine the tornado's strength.
The county sheriff's office says the roads have since been cleared and the severe weather has moved east, out of the area.
