Twenty-one people confirmed dead after revised toll and at least 1,621 homes damaged or destroyed

21 dead and dozens wounded over the weekend, marking one of the deadliest in the state for decades.

On Sunday afternoon, senior officials from White House – including the Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator, Deanne Criswell, and the homeland security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas – visited the ravaged Delta town of Rolling Fork to meet with state officials, including the Republican governor, Tate Reeves, and survey the damage.

As search and rescue operations concluded Monday, disaster response officials turned to longer-term issues such as housing, food and public services, with certain municipal buildings destroyed and many neighborhoods reduced to rubble.
