ROLLING FORK, Miss. — DeeAnn Brown was not scheduled to work the evening of Friday, March 24. But after a monster tornado leveled the Mississippi Delta town of Rolling Fork and damaged Sharkey-Issaquena Community Hospital, where she is a registered nurse, she and her family rushed to help.
Storm chasers and high school students dressed for prom were digging out victims. Brown and her family, confused by the destruction and emergency lights, nearly got lost in the four blocks between their car and the hospital.
“When you rolled the windows down,” she said, “you could hear people hollering.”
