Ruthie Green went door-to-door in a coat and a bicycle helmet to check on neighbors after the storm and swept debris from her front porch as more emergency responders arrived in the neighborhood.
So far, the storms have caused widespread damage to more than 100 homes and businesses in Mississippi.
In the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, emergency crews searched the ruins of splintered buildings for several people listed as unaccounted for, while scores more people were reported injured throughout the region, Reuters reported.
Their home was damaged but still standing.
Details are still sketchy, Holmes said, and nightfall is making it hard for storm spotters to identify tornado activity.
The risk for a “few intense, long-tracked tornadoes” will continue into Wednesday night, the center said.
But that didn’t stop some from spending their Christmas giving rather than receiving.
A 7-year-old boy was found dead after the storm picked up and tossed the vehicle he was traveling in, fire chief Kenny Holbrook told reporters in the town of Holly Springs, where some 5,000 households are believed to be without power.
“This was just the right thing to do, come help a family in need”, Shupiery said. He says it was a wonderful experience for those giving and for those getting.
“It makes you thankful to be alive with your family”, he said. Among the MS dead was a seven-year-old boy.
The boy and another person were killed after the storm system moved into Holly Springs, Miss., southeast of Memphis near the Tennessee line. The line of springlike storms continued marching east Thursday, dumping torrential rain that flooded roads in Alabama and caused a mudslide in the mountains of Georgia.
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for three counties.
The Columbia Police Department said in a news release that the bodies of three people were found in a vehicle submerged in a Maury County creek Thursday afternoon. The agency says the deaths were weather-related.
Another person was killed in Rhea County because of the unseasonably warm severe weather, which spawned deadly tornadoes that also killed seven people in MS and one in Arkansas.
Meteorologists say more storms and heavy rain are on the way throughout the Christmas weekend in Tennessee.
Families across the US South have spent Christmas Eve taking stock of their losses after an unusual outbreak of December tornadoes and other violent weather killed at least 14 people and damaged or destroyed dozens of homes.
On Thursday, four soaked counties told residents to stay home.
