A powerful tornado cut a devastating path Friday night of at least 170 miles (273.59 kilometers) through Mississippi, killing at least 23 people and obliterating dozens of buildings, as it stayed on the ground for more than an hour. 

The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency warned in a tweet Saturday that the casualty toll could go higher than the 23 dead and four missing, saying: “Unfortunately, these numbers are expected to change.” Meanwhile other parts of the Deep South were digging out from damage from other suspected twisters.
