Talked to my cousin who lives there and he said it hit on the south side of town around old yazoo motor. He said the wendys got destroyed and i think a church then apparently one whole neighborhood got hit pretty hard.

Whew! What a day! I pulled into town bout 30 min before it hit. It went straight through the south end of town and got yazoo motors, barber shop, ribeyes, staplcoton office, wendys, double quick/churchs chicken, and completely demolished hillcrest baptist church. It went through the enchanted hills neighborhood and then headed northeast to midway. Destroyed a lot of houses at the end of niven rd at eden midway. Killed an elderly lady in midway. Supposedly 3 people dead in yazoo county. Right now in the old K-mart parking lot there are LEOs from several counties, MEMA, MDWDP, national guard, highway patrol, firefighters, electrical companies, tree cutters and LOTS of media. They're cooking for everyone in the yazoo motor parking lot. They're still bringing people out using 4wheeler. Probably 80% of cleanup was from neighbors helping neighbors. To me it looked like midway and enchanted hills got the bad end of the deal. Not sure what it looks like between yazoo and satartia. Still lots of cleanup left but it'll get fixed. They're already repairing wendys and double quick. Need lots of prayers. Going to be lots of displaced people and still some folks missing.
