Gov. Haley Barbour told The Associated Press there was "utter obliteration" in parts of Yazoo County, an area where he is from. About 15 other counties were also damaged, he said.

The swath of debris forced rescuers to pick up some of the injured on all-terrain vehicles after a 3/4-mile wide tornado touched down in at least three counties in the west-central part of the state. Yazoo City Mayor McArthur Straughter said the county coroner confirmed the two deaths.

Tornadoes were also reported in Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama, and the severe weather continued to track eastward.

In Yazoo City about 40 miles north of Jackson, stunned residents stood on a hill overlooking the destruction. A National Guard helicopter sat nearby, waiting to Barbour on an aerial tour.

Put it this way, is it not usually (not always but many, many times) the broken, poor, suffering and most desperate people that come to Christ? My experience is it's usually when people are at this low that they are seeking compared to those in the West who think they need nothing because they've already got everything they need (minus a few little sacrifices here and there). Look at Haiti shortly after that devastation from the earthquake, there were thousands coming to Christ, revivals in the street.
Just my 2 cents.
