Poverty-Stricken Mississippi Communities Struggle to Recover After Tornado

A tornado wreaks havoc in Mississippi's Delta region, leaving low-income residents to face a rough recovery. The twister hit two of the poorest counties in the state, Sharkey and Humphreys, with poverty rates of 35% and 33%, respectively. The majority-Black Delta has been struggling economically for a long time, with many people working paycheck to paycheck in agriculture-related jobs. The tornado destroyed many homes and businesses in Rolling Fork and Silver City, leaving piles of debris in its wake. The affected areas are sparsely populated, with only a few thousand residents living across vast cotton, corn, and soybean fields. The local housing stock was already tight, and some who lost their homes said they will stay with friends or relatives. Mississippi opened over half a dozen shelters to temporarily house people displaced by the tornado. Joe Biden declared a state of emergency for Mississippi, making federal funding available to the hardest-hit areas.

Law enforcement officials are making preparations in the event of an indictment. Trump claimed, without any evidence, that he would be arrested on Tuesday, but there was no indication that this prediction would come true. The grand jury appeared to take an important step forward by hearing from a witness favourable to Trump, presumably so prosecutors could ensure the panel had a chance to consider any testimony that could be remotely seen as exculpatory.
