BRANDON, Miss. (AP) ­ Violent thunderstorms with strong winds, heavy rain
did extensive damage and maybe caused injuries Wednesday morning as they
pushed across Mississippi. "We know there are people hurt" southwest of
Brandon, said Lea Stokes of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.

In Pike County, Miss., Civil Defense volunteer Kevin McKenzie said there
were reports of minor injuries, including a person who was trapped in a
mobile home. McKenzie said numerous homes were damaged and there was
extensive damage to timber and utility lines.

"The southeast part of the county has been hit hard," McKenzie
said. Across both central and southern counties, there were reports of
downed trees and some power outages. Numerous mobile homes were destroyed
and damage was reported to roofs and vehicles in areas south and southeast
of Brandon, especially along Monterey Road between Florence and Brandon.

"We also have reports of touchdowns in Scott County near Osaka and in Pike
County," Stokes said. "There are reports of damage, trees down and power
lines down." Officials in Scott County said they had no reports of
injuries but that damage was reported north of Morton on Mississippi
481. "In Walthall County in the Rolland area, we have reports of damaged
roofs and downed trees," Stokes said. "We don't have a lot more right now,
everything is still coming in."
