MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three people are dead following severe storms, the Tennessee Department of Health confirmed early Thursday morning.

One weather-related fatality was reported in McNairy County and the other in Obion County.

According to the Fayette County Emergency Management Agency, a trailer with a family of five in Fayette County was lifted off the ground after a tornado came through the southeast corner of our county.

A tornado warning was issued in the area at 1:42 a.m. At 1:46 a.m., the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from a resident on Sweet Road in Lagrange, who said their house had been struck by the tornado and the occupants were missing.

Fayette County EMA says first responders were dispatched immediately. When they arrived on the scene, a mobile home could be seen flipped upside down with one person trapped.

Reports say the victim was extricated and taken to Regional One in critical condition.

Four other family members were found a short distance from the home. One person was pronounced dead on the scene and three others were taken to an area hospital — one in critical condition and two in stable condition.

At this time, it is unclear if there are more fatalities due to the severe weather.

Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said on Thursday morning that preliminary reports show damage in Tate, Marshall, Benton, and Tippah counties. He says DeSoto and Alcorn counties have also likely been affected.

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency is helping first responders across those Mississippi counties. There are currently no weather-related deaths confirmed in Mississippi, but we are working to gather more information.

We will update this story as more details become available.
