Tornadoes Hit Mississippi & Southeast, 9 Killed & Many Injured in Yazoo City, MS
All day Saturday weather forecasters put people on notice in the Southeast of severe weather and the potential for dangerous rail, hail and tornadoes. A tornado touched down in Yazoo City, MS, about 40 miles north of Jackson that caused much damage, destruction, death and injury.
Sadly this morning officials are raising the death toll to 9, including 2-3 children.
Mississippi official say the death toll has risen to nine from a devastating tornado that flattened homes and businesses in the state. More than a dozen others have been injured.
Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Greg Flynn said five people were killed in Choctaw County, 3 in Yazoo County and 1 in Holmes County. No names have been released and details are not available.
Two of those dead in Choctaw county are children.
Gov. Haley Barbour told The Associated Press there was “utter obliteration” in parts of Yazoo County, an area where he is from. More than 15 other counties were also damaged.
Rescue workers dig through the rubble and devastation left in the path of the tornadoes that hit Mississippi on Saturday. Reports now state that there are up to 10 people dead.
The tornado struck at least 13 counties, destroying scores of homes and trapping people inside, damaging businesses, blocking highways and knocking out power to thousands, said the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
Five people died in Choctaw County, four in Yazoo County and one in Holmes County, said Greg Flynn, spokesman at the agency.
Governor Haley Barbour declared a state of emergency after the first major U.S. tornado of the year.
“It has done huge damage around Yazoo City,” Barbour, who grew up in the city, told CBS television.
“We have fatalities, a number of people that we’re still trying to rescue who are trapped in buildings. But it is a major, significant tornado … and it did some huge damage and perhaps some fatalities north of here,” Barbour said.

More Global Warming, Lake Erie Frozen Over, First Time in 14 Years … More People Cast Doubt on Man Made Global Warming
According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, 47% of Americans now blame Global Warming on planetary trends and not man. Only 35% believe that it is caused by man’s activity. What does this mean, the science is much in question that has blamed man for the earth’s fever.
There’s nothing political about global warming now is there?
Belief that human activity is the primary cause of global warming has declined significantly. In April 2008, the numbers were nearly the mirror image of the current numbers. At that time, 47% blamed human activity and only 34% named long term planetary trends as the reason for climate change.
Since July, the number who believe long-term planetary trends are the chief culprit have ranged from 47% to 50%. Those who blame human activity have ranged from 34% to 42% in the same period.
Is it any wonder that people are not casting doubt on man made global warming in the wake of the scandals from the global warming scientist crowd?
Even global warming expert Professor Phil Jones admitted this weekend that there has been no significant global warming in the last 15 years.
Looks an awful lot like they have some major global warming going on at the Great Lakes. For the first time in 14 years Lake Erie is frozen over. No wonder the Al Gore’s and other global waring agendists want to change the name to “climate change“. The global warming crowd would say that a frozen lake has nothing to do with global warming. Of course if it had no ice on it what-so-ever, that would be indicative of global warming.
With only 35% of people still believing that man is the cause of global warming, Obama finds himself once again on the wrong side of an issue as he still looks to push his climate change agenda of Cap & Tax that will further harm the US economy.

Snowmageddon … More Global Warming from Washington, DC and Mid-Atlantic States … Largest Snow Fall Since 1922 Robert F. Kennedy Jr
GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE CHANGE, NO SNOW?
Washington DC region finds itself buried and paralyzed under 2 feet of snow as 100,000′s people find them self without power due to this historic snow storm.
- West Virginia found itself with nearly 30 inches if snow.
- 100′s of thousands without power from massive Coastal storm.
Barack Obama ponders global warming message to We the People as WH buried under snow
I wonder what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would have to say about this record snow fall in Washington DC and the surrounding Virginia area? RFK Jr. flies around on private jets to tell people how they must live their lives to save the planet. As reported by the Washington Examiner, he also penned an article last year on the lack of winter weather in Washington, DC. Maybe he would like to comment on this weekends historic snow storm? I guess he will have to re-write his global warming stump speech. Make no mistake about it, RFK Jr tied climate change to snow fall.
So Robert F. Kennedy Jr., what say you regarding ‘Snowmaggedon’ and the record snow storm that buried the Mid-Atlantic states and the 33 inches of snow in DC, the worst since 1922?
Let me guess, it was caused by Global warming?
