SUMMARY: A man in Madison County, Mississippi has been arrested after a standoff with law enforcement officers.

SUMMARY: Mississippi's Governor Tate Reeves is requesting federal aid from FEMA for Hancock, Hinds, Humphreys, Madison, Neshoba, and Scott counties after severe weather including 13 tornadoes struck from April 8-11, resulting in property damage and two fatalities. The storm inflicted significant damage on a number of homes across these counties, prompting the call for individual assistance programs, which could include grants for housing repairs and low-interest loans for uninsured losses. Reeves emphasized the importance of the federal support in helping the state and its residents recover from the destruction caused by the storms. Approval from FEMA is pending based upon the state meeting certain requirements.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency provided an initial report on severe weather damage from Thursday.

Power restoration efforts decreased outages from 64,000. Governor Reeves thanked emergency personnel and crews for their work. A power outage at the O.B.
