SUMMARY: Earlier today, a tornado hit Wayne County, specifically the city of Waynesboro, in northeastern Mississippi. Pictures of the tornado and the resulting damage have been received. The threat of tornadoes is expected to continue for the rest of the afternoon and evening in central and south Mississippi. A tornado watch is currently in effect until 7 PM, and it is likely to be extended. The situation is considered particularly dangerous because these tornadoes are not rain-wrapped and can be seen easily. Numerous rotating cells are present in the area, prompting the issuance of warnings to protect lives.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Health (MSDH) and city leaders inspected Chapel Ridge Apartments in Jackson due to poor living conditions and trash overflow. City Councilman Vernon Hartley is advocating for an emergency declaration to use city and state resources to address the issues. The apartments, considered private property, limit the city’s ability to intervene fully. Hartley hopes declaring it a public health hazard will enable cleanup efforts, such as providing dumpsters. The trash problem has persisted for almost a month, and a motion for a potential cleanup process will be introduced at the next city council meeting.
