Lord we lift up the community of Rolling Fork MS to you, may You provide them comfort and strength. May you provide the food/water/shelter the people need and may we hear of miraclulous things taking place there. In Jesus Name, AMEN.
Looks like an atomic bomb air burst. Lots of homes built on slabs with no basements just wiped off the foundation. I hope someone had warning and shelter.
I'm guessing, Mississippi is majority clay and sandy loam type land, and because of that it's almost impossible to build underground shelters attached to houses.
The ground shifts to much, and as such, detaches any sub structures from their anchoring. Can find this in tornado alley states too.
Which is why you won't see anything but slabs there.
This is what cutting costs and building stick homes looks like. Where are the builders designing safe housing that are termite proof, tornado proof, hail proof?
Everything is done for a reason and it isn't for the benefit of people.
A lot of those homes would have been built in the '40s through the '60s. All that fancy shit didn't exist then.
And we're not talking about the richest of folks that can afford all that fancy shit built into a house anyway.
Sometimes, life is just brutal and there's no real way around it and no one to blame for it. Endure it as best we can and grieve the lost then rebuild the best we can afford.
To be fair, what you describe sounds like the same kind of regulation that drives costs to be prohibitive and drive more people away from owning homes. I'm sure if you pay for it, there are thousands of home builders who would accommodate your demands.
23 dead in 2023. Damn sad.😔

Prayers for these folks.

Could be totally wrong, but that's my take.
The water table may be an issue as well.
wow. I don't think I've ever seen devastation like that from a tornado.
those poor people
