An EF4 tornado tore through the western Mississippi town of Rolling Fork on Friday night, causing total destruction as it ripped through the small, tight-knit community. The outbreak of storms left at least 26 dead across the Southeast, and communities face a lengthy road to recovery.
The images from the ground and drone footage taken in the tornado’s aftermath have revealed startling damage as the twister laid waste to homes and businesses. Neighborhoods were flattened. A truck was tossed on top of a building like a toy. Large pieces of wood impaled a vehicle. But also pictured were resilient communities coming together and beginning to pick up the pieces.
