The Latest:
Chickasaw County EMA Director Linda Griffin shared this video from CR 413 in Houlka. She reported no injuries. At 9:20 p.m., she said the road is completely blocked and will be blocked for a while due to size of tree.
7:26 AM - Damaging straight-line wind is likely blowing across I-55 now through Panola County, moving east at 50-55 mph toward Lafayette County.
I would advise against traveling on I-55 in this area or even along MS 7 from Water Valley to Holly Springs as this moves thru.
