Storm Claims Six Lives In Mississippi

Emergency officials say six people have been confirmed dead in Mississippi while searches continue for people missing in communities with severe storm damage.

The overall storm death toll is now at least 10 people who were killed in Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas.

Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said Thursday that four people have been confirmed dead in Benton County and two were killed in Marshall County.

Flynn says search crews are looking for others who are missing.

As the line of storms moved east, it's brought heavy rain and thunderstorms today to Atlanta and the Carolinas. In parts of Georgia, there's the possibility of flooding through tomorrow.  (Associated Press)
