An apparent tornado in Tupelo, Miss., has damaged a shopping mall and downed power lines. There aren't any reported injuries from the Thursday morning storm. Authorities are getting reports about fallen trees and debris across the area, and officials are being dispatched to check out the damage. Jackson, Miss., television station WAPT reported that a dispatcher with the Tupelo Police Department said that several cars in the mall parking lot were damaged and that the Mississippi Department of Transportation office was heavily damaged. She also said several other buildings in the area sustained major damage.
The Lee County sheriff's office said officers spotted a possible tornado moving in and out of the clouds. Weather officials will have to confirm that the storm was a twister. A number of northeast Mississippi counties and portions of northwest Alabama are under a tornado watch until midafternoon. Possible tornadoes also struck Oklahoma on Wednesday.
