In Rolling Fork, Mississippi, where a tornado caused chaos and death, volunteers are pouring in from surrounding towns to help.
"We're trying to give people a place to stay overnight with food and medical support so they can just have a place to lay their heads, because they've lost everything," said John Brown, a Red Cross official for Alabama and Mississippi.Whether or not residents choose to stay in the town center, they will at least have access to information and food and regain some strength, Brown said.
The pair are not sure whether they will spend the night at the center. Maybe they'd prefer to sleep in the car, Alvaro said, giving his mother a hesitant look. "I thought I was going to die," he said, recounting the strong wind"rushing in through the bottom of the door."She described the mixture of sadness, grief and anger she feels at the"injustice" inflicted on the residents."When I woke up this morning, I wanted to cry for the people of this town because I don't think they had much time before came.
