Yazoo Tornado Photos - Aftermath and Rescue Operations
READ MORE TO VIEW GALLERIES
Emergency services, the Salvation Army, National Guard, Red Cross and other volunteers have worked tirelessly to restore peace to a broken town.

On Saturday, April 24th, Yazoo City was hit by a major storm system which started in Louisiana and spread across the entire state of Mississippi.

Around forty electrical restoration crews have begun to restore and repair the power lines that were shredded, whilst gas contractors are remarking connection points to hook up services back to the homes.

Regular patrols from the National Guard in armoured HumVees made their way back and forth along the affected areas, whilst the Red Cross hand delivered food and water to residents who sat in their easy chairs on the ruins of their home.

The community spirit is high and the support from the Emergency Services is nothing short of outstanding.

The owners of a Church that was destroyed by a fire 12 years ago, lost their property again. They were determined to rebuild for a third time. Insurance assessors were assisting and counting the cost of the damage.
