Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has warned that more severe storms could be on the way after recent tornadoes left dozens of people dead.

Speaking at a press conference in the hard-hit town of Rolling Fork on March 27, Reeves said, “What we’ve seen, much like the storm that occurred here Friday night, is in the 24–36 hours that are leading up to this afternoon, it appears that the risks seem to be getting worse and worse, not better.”
