UPDATE: Multiple tornadoes have *devastated* the southern United States this morning, with severe thunderstorms impacting Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. A *tornado warning* was issued at 9:20 a.m. local time for areas around Pascagoula, Mississippi, where emergency managers confirmed a tornado just minutes later.
The twister struck *near Gautier*, damaging homes and businesses. Footage shows significant destruction, including the roof of Aztecas Restaurant & Cantina being ripped off and several vehicles mangled in the parking lot.
“The situation is urgent, and residents are urged to stay indoors and monitor local updates,”
stated a spokesperson from the National Weather Service.
In addition to the confirmed tornado in Mississippi, a *rain-wrapped tornado* was spotted earlier in Orange Beach, Alabama, further escalating concerns. Eyewitness videos captured the intensity of the storm as it wreaked havoc across the region. Another tornado was confirmed in Moss Point, Mississippi, where live traffic cameras documented the frightening scene.
This violent weather system is not only causing immediate destruction but also contributing to widespread *power outages* across parts of Texas. As the situation continues to unfold, experts warn that this system will herald the arrival of a significant *Halloween storm* expected to impact the East Coast.
Weather models are predicting rain from the Carolinas to the Northeast over the next few days, particularly on *Thursday and Friday*. Although it is still too early to predict the storm’s exact effects, forecasts indicate substantial rainfall and potential flooding.
Residents are advised to stay tuned to weather updates as this developing story unfolds. The combination of tornadoes in the South and the impending Halloween storm on the East Coast underscores the volatile nature of this weather system.
