Mississippi, (SONNA) – At least 25 people have been killed and dozens injured after a tornado tore through the US state of Mississippi late Friday.<\/p>\n
Four people are missing, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said Saturday in its latest update on Twitter.<\/p>\n
“Multiple state agencies and partners are working together to help in the response and recovery efforts,” it said.<\/p>\n
The agency warned of severe storms for counties across rural Mississippi on Sunday evening and expected damaging wind gusts.<\/p>\n
Governor Tate Reeves also issued a state of emergency in counties affected by storms.<\/p>\n
“We will marshal every available resource on behalf of our neighbors in need. We\u2019re here for the long haul,” Reeves wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
In an earlier tweet, he said authorities were “surging more ambulances and other emergency assets for those affected,” while urging residents to “watch weather reports and stay cautious.”<\/p>\n
US President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter: “Jill and I are praying for those who have lost loved ones in the devastating tornadoes in Mississippi and those whose loved ones are missing.”<\/p>\n
“We will do everything we can to help. We will work together to deliver the support you need to recover, for as long as it takes,” added Biden.<\/p>\n
