View from Vicksburg, MS just before the tornado came through. Saw power flashes in the rain core coming straight toward my location just before seeking shelter. #msws pic.twitter.com/0SBCkPVkl5

A portion of Interstate 20 beginning at mile marker 4 is closed due to large trees across the highway.

The powerful storm system that is passing through Mississippi this afternoon and into tonight is part of a huge system that started in Texas this morning, where several people were reportedly injured earlier Saturday when a tornado ripped through the area.
