Residents of rural Mississippi have recounted harrowing tales of survival after a deadly tornado tore through the state Friday night.
They closed the car doors and waited.
Christin George said her parents and grandmother narrowly escaped when the tornado blew out the windows and ripped off part of the roof of their home. “Everything else around them is just gone,” she said, at times clutching her hand to her chest. “They were lucky. That’s all there is to it.” “It just got calm and all of sudden everything just — like a big old train or something coming through,” she said, adding that much of her belongings weren't salvageable.That same fear gripped residents of Rolling Fork, about 30 miles away, as the twister flatted the town of just under 2,000 people.
