Additional reports of property damage near Columbus were received by the NWS, according to Lance Perrilloux, a forecaster with the agency. "We’ve got power lines, trees just all over the road," Eutaw Police Chief Tommy Johnson told WBRC-TV. "In the morning when we get a little daylight, we’re going to do a door-by-door search to make sure no one is trapped inside or anything like that."
The Oktibbeha County Emergency Management agency is operating the shelter, about three miles from the university's campus. Ceecee said the dome-shaped multipurpose facility capable of withstanding 250 mph winds. "Supercells are expected to develop this afternoon and track northeastward across much of northeast Louisiana and central Mississippi," the weather service said. "Parameters appear favorable for strong and long-tracked tornadoes this afternoon and early evening."
