) - After an EF 4 tornado ripped through Mississippi, people from our area are pitching in to help. The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office has been in Amory, Mississippi since Sunday. Corporal Lonnie Parsons took this video while touring the damage yesterday.

To help, the sheriff’s office brought four patrol deputies and a K9 to assist with search and rescue as well as seven people with their cook team. Parsons says so far, they’ve fed officers from 15-20 different law enforcement agencies. More help is on the way. Toomey’s Mardi Gras is also collecting supplies to fill this 54-foot trailer.

Stephen Toomey says they’re already planning to send left over moon pies and cups from Mardi Gras. And even some furniture among other donations from the community.
