Mississippi Tornadoes 2023
March 31, 2023. Rolling Fork, Mississippi. Red Crosser Yolanda Gainwell visits with Karebya Christmas on Friday outside Christmas’ heavily
damaged home in Rolling Fork, Miss. Christmas was home with her three children – ranging in age from 2 to 11 years old – when the tornado
arrived. Just like Christmas’ grandmother taught her, she brought the family into the bathtub and put a pillow on top of them. No one was injured,
but her home suffered major damages, disrupting their lives, as well as the self-owned business she ran from the home. On Friday, Christmas
received help at a drive-through distribution center, where the Red Cross and partners distributed rakes, shovels, totes, clean-up kits,
flashlights, batteries and more. Photo by Scott Dalton/American Red Cross
