Other Added 172d ago · originally reported 173d ago Why the delay? Events only appear once a second similar article confirms the story. Additionally, many feeds (especially Google News-proxied sources like CNN, NYT, WSJ, WaPo) can take 10-20+ hours to index new articles. The pipeline also runs every 30 minutes, so there's always some inherent lag. 3 outlets
Powerful storms with at least one confirmed large tornado moved through central and western Mississippi on Wednesday night, damaging hundreds of homes, downing power lines, and uprooting trees across multiple counties including Lincoln and Lawrence. Governor Tate Reeves urged residents to monitor emergency alerts and seek shelter. Initial reports indicated injuries but no confirmed deaths, though one outlet reported at least 17 injured.
