Hollywood couldn’t have released a horror movie any more terrifying than what parts of Mississippi experienced Friday night. From Rolling Fork to Amory, a monster wedge tornado scythed its way through the darkness like a serial killer on the prowl. Powerful EF-4 winds left a nearly mile-wide scar across the state, killing and destroying along the way. Twenty-five (and rising) Mississippians lost their lives. It’s the highest death toll from a tornado in the 21st century.

From MPB Think Radio, this is Now You’re Talking, a show about the most interesting people and stories of Mississippi. I’m your host Marshall Ramsey, Editor at Large and cartoonist with MS Today, today we’ll discuss the storm’s aftermath, get firsthand eyewitness perspectives, learn how we can help with recovery and more with guests Kevin Adams, Skip Scaggs, Lynn Oldshoe, Martin White, Natalie Perkins and Derrick Wince.
