At least four people have died from causes related to severe storms over the weekend, including multiple tornadoes that ripped through six states, officials said on Sunday.
Between Saturday and Sunday afternoon, 38 twisters were reported across Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced one death in Adams County on Sunday and said that at least 10 people were injured by the severe weather in Franklin, Simpson and Wayne counties.
Later in the day, he posted a statement on social media Sunday, confirming a second weather-related death in his state.
“I am saddened to announce that a second fatality has been reported, this time in Lowndes County. Mississippi is praying for the individual who lost their life and for their family,” Reeves said.
