(TWC) – A huge tornado is moving over Bassfield, Mississippi, in Jefferson Davis County, according to the National Weather Service.  The emergencies included the towns of Laurel, Ellisville, Sharon, and Collins, Taylorsville, and Mt. Olive. The two dangerous tornadoes are following similar tracks.  Earlier, damaging storms and possible tornadoes destroyed homes and businesses, toppled trees and knocked out electricity across several areas of Louisiana as a widespread outbreak of severe storms swept across the South.

 

About 300 homes were damaged or destroyed in Monroe, Louisiana, police Sgt. Chuck Johnson told The Weather Channel. The city was working to secure about 200 hotel rooms to shelter those who were displaced.

“The images and reports of major tornado damage in the Monroe area are heartbreaking, and my prayers are with the people there. We are in contact with local officials in the area to provide support,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said on Twitter. “I hope all of Louisiana is on high alert right now.” There were no immediate reports of major injuries. READ MORE
