Tropical Storm Arthur Hits Southern Mississippi

Tropical Storm Arthur slammed into southern Mississippi, leaving behind widespread flooding that damaged over 200 homes and a dozen businesses, plus roads and bridges. The Red Cross has opened shelters in Hancock, Harrison, and Stone Counties, while the Old National Guard Armory accepts cleaning supplies like buckets and mops — and the Salvation Army’s already donated 600 kits. Counties like Covington and George have submitted damage reports to MEMA, with Forrest and Jackson expected soon. MEMA urges victims to file insurance claims, document damage with photos, and report to their county and MEMA — and reach out to local emergency management for immediate needs. Recovery is underway as communities rally to rebuild. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
