A Facebook post said a tornado warning for Hinds County, Mississippi, that had been in effect until 5:30 a.m. CDT has expired.
Hinds County includes Jackson, the state capital, and surrounding communities. Tornado warnings indicate an immediate threat to life and property and are typically issued when a tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar.
Officials and weather agencies generally advise residents to seek shelter in a sturdy building, move to an interior room on the lowest floor away from windows, and avoid vehicles and mobile homes. Local emergency management and the National Weather Service provide the authoritative notices and updates during severe weather events.
Details about any damage or injuries were not included in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
