Prior to the filming, the National Weather Service reported the likelihood of tornado activity in Walthall County, Mississippi. The service reported likely tornadoes near both Salem and Tylertown in the state. This comes after multiple confirmed tornadoes on Saturday and at least 20 deaths.

"This confirmed tornado continues moving northeast at 50 mph through rural southeastern Pike County and on its current track will move into Walthall County soon," the weather service said on X. "If you're in the path of this storm (including Tylertown), take shelter NOW!!!"

RawAlerts reports, "Watch as someone bravely films from inside their trailer home as a powerful tornado engulfs them in Tylertown, Mississippi that happened earlier this afternoon. Their footage captures the terrifying moment from inside the tornado itself. This tornado has caused significant damage to homes and buildings, with reports of injuries. It comes amid a major tornado outbreak sweeping across Mississippi and Alabama, where a rare Level 5/5 high-risk warning has been issued."

The man continued to film as the wind whipped around outside. Fortunately, it looks like he survived. However, Walthall County Sheriff Kyle Breland confirmed at least three deaths in the area following the devastating tornadoes.

"We've been hit hard," said Breland. "Multiple injuries; three confirmed deaths. A lot of homes destroyed and a lot of trees blocking roads."

The South was preparing for the oncoming storms prior to their arrival. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency "in preparation for the severe and potentially damaging weather front."

"This storm will hit at the worst possible time, as people are heading to or already in bed," Kemp said in a statement. "Before they retire for the evening, I'm urging everyone to be prepared ahead of time and to remain weather aware as long as this system is in the state."

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the storms and tornadoes in Mississippi and the South.
