When a tornado smashed through the town of Rolling Fork in Mississippi it left Jermaine Wells pinned under a massive tractor tyre. On the southwestern tip of the city is Seventh Street, and at the end of the road, surrounded on two sides by fields of farmland, is Jermaine and Chandra's home.Jermaine was pinned under the tyre as the wind sent his car flying overhead."I'm just coming to get whatever I can, clothes, anything I can salvage," Jermaine tells me."We can't pay nobody to clean this up. We just need help."Every house here has been almost or completely destroyed.
Kate Sisney, who lived opposite the retired grandparents for 18 years, says:"I'm going to miss them dearly. I'm glad they went together, because one couldn't have survived without the other."
