Governor Tate Reeves announced early May 7 that Cagen Navy, a volunteer search and rescue group, was sending a 50-person shelter module, a 30-kilowatt generator, supplies, and food to support rescuers and victims in Lincoln County.

The Lamar County Sheriff's Office reported that preliminary damage to the industrial park area included downed trees and damaged roofs. The Sheriff's Office asked the public to avoid traveling through the area to avoid disrupting emergency services.

The storms also affected Lawrence County, where approximately 12 homes were damaged. One person was reported injured in Franklin County.

"Reports are coming in of hundreds of damaged homes, roads blocked by debris, and power outages. As of 9:30 a.m. on May 7, 15,643 power outages were reported statewide. Damage assessments will continue on May 8," the publication stated.

Floodwaters and downed power lines pose additional hazards, so the curious should avoid traveling to affected areas.

Downed trees and other damage forced the closure of several school districts, including Lawrence, Franklin and Lincoln.

Although the storms have weakened, they continue to move eastward toward northwest Florida and parts of Georgia, including the Atlanta area.
