From ABC News: While Trump overhauls FEMA, Mississippi tornado survivors await assistance

Mississippi’s request for federal disaster assistance is pending more than two months after 18 tornados ripped through the state, killing seven and damaging hundreds of homes

“I don’t know what you got to do or what you got to have to be able to be declared for a federal disaster area because this is pretty bad,” Lowery said. “We can’t help you because, whatever, we’re waiting on a letter; we’re waiting on somebody to sign his name. You know, all that. I’m just over it.”

Republican Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves asked the Trump administration for a major disaster declaration on April 1 after 18 tornadoes tore through the state on March 14 and 15, leaving seven people dead and hundreds of homes destroyed or damaged.
