The National Weather Service told residents of the two states that potential new"supercell thunderstorms" could hit late on Sunday with the potential to"produce a few strong tornadoes and very large hail”.Before-and-after satellite images released late Sunday showed utter ruin across parts of Rolling Fork, a small town almost wiped out by the storm, with homes destroyed and trees ripped out of the earth.
Crews are working to fix power lines pinned down by broken trees, which have caused thousands of people to lose power to their homes.Mr Biden's emergency order to support recovery efforts will provide grants for temporary housing, home repairs and low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, the White House said on Sunday.
