Mississippi SNAP recipients urged to report EBT thefts
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) has received reports of individuals gaining access to SNAP EBT card numbers and PIN through skimming. Skimming is a fraud technique where criminals collect or copy card information. MDHS is advising SNAP clients who suspect they have been a victim of skimming to call the Mississippi EBT card holder service center to report the compromise and create a new PIN. They should also file a report with the MDHS Office of Inspector General fraud hotline for an investigation. SNAP participants are encouraged to use complex PINs, change them frequently, keep them secret, monitor their accounts for unauthorized charges, and check card reading machines for suspicious devices.

SUMMARY: Residents in Monroe County, Miss., experienced an unexpected tornado early this morning without any warning from the National Weather Service (NWS). Ms. Betty awoke to shattering glass from intense winds hitting her bedroom window. Despite evident tornado damage along Pickle Road, no tornado warning was issued, leaving residents puzzled. Chief Meteorologist Issac Williams spotted tornadic debris around 4:40 am and questioned the NWS, which initially dismissed the evidence but agreed to review the radar data. Ms. Betty's family helped clear debris, with her yard being the most impacted, although she and her dog remained unharmed.
