Summary
Tragedy strikes as a Franklin County road crew member dies during storm cleanup amid worsening floods across southern Mississippi. In Pearl River County, Anchor Lake’s dam is under intense scrutiny with little room for more water, prompting evacuations of 30 homes. Emergency crews in Harrison County are racing to rescue stranded residents, while state agencies coordinate response efforts. Though the dam is currently functioning, forecasted rain threatens to overwhelm it. Residents near East Hobolochitto Creek are urged to evacuate to higher ground, and multiple roads remain closed due to rising floodwaters.
