Prayers to people in Rolling Fork area tornado 24 dead already

Apparently there are at least 24 people killed in the Rolling Fork area of Mississippi from a total and related damages and this very damaging system is heading NE.

Rolling Fork is a very little town of about 2,500 people along Highway 61 kind of on the southern edge of the Delta. It’s been many years since I’ve been there but based my memory it may have a stoplight and a kind of a cool old general store, gas station, restaurant. I think that is the first place I ever discovered Kool-Aid pickles. It mostly an older person farming community if I remember correctly. It’s right north of my old hunting camp.

i think a lot of the homes were double and single wide trailers, which probably contributed greatly to the fatalities. I used to have a bunch of clients from the area and there were always really good God-fearing County people, who wanted to welcome you into their homes, cook you lunch, dinner, breakfast take you hunting or fishing or whatever. Salt of the earth people.

It’s right next to onward Mississippi which is the location that Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot the tied up bear cub leading to the stuffed bear phenomenon known today as the “teddy bear. “ Unfortunately, his guide Moo-Tee (maybe) cut the cubs neck so although it’s a wonderful story, is it in somewhere for the little bear.

These people deserved better, and I hope and pray that help will be pouring in.
