HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Residents shaken by a tornado that mangled homes in Mississippi were waking up Monday to a day of removing trees, patching roofs and giving thanks for their survival. Dozens were injured.
Daylight also offered emergency management officials the chance to get a better handle on the damage that stretched across several counties. Gov. Phil Bryant planned to visit hard-hit Hattiesburg, where a twister moved along one of the city's main streets and damaged buildings at the governor's alma mater, the University of Southern Mississippi. Emergency officials said early Monday that at least 63 people were injured in surrounding Forrest County and three were hurt to the west in Marion County, but they weren't aware of any deaths. At least 300 buildings were damaged.
