I'm nearly crying that all of my family got to see that today. My grandpa is almost 90 years old and for the first time in his life he witnessed a total eclipse. My sister told me he just kept saying "this is unbelievable "

Violent tornado with horizontal vortex right before entering Rolling Fork, MS. Came across town and pulled multiple people from ruble. Unburied one woman and flagged down medic. Myself, Max and Jordan worked to free older woman buried under house and carried little girl to safety
