WEATHER UPDATE: Few outages northside of Adams County, no damages reported - Mississippi's Best Community Newspaper
NATCHEZ — Thus far there have been few reported power outages on the north side of Adams County and no structural damages reported, said Emergency Management Director Robert Bradford.
Supervisor Warren Gaines reported dime-sized hail in the Pine Ridge area but no resulting damage, Bradford said.
Forty-four people took advantage of the Safe Room on Liberty Road as a storm shelter when a tornado watch had been issued at around 4 p.m. today by the National Weather Service. Long after the watch had been updated to a warning, for the northeastern part of the county, Bradford said it appeared no tornado had touched down in the area.

A tornado watch remains active until 11 p.m. tonight, according to NWS.
