A tornado touched down in Yazoo County, Mississippi, on Monday night, causing damage to a downtown Yazoo City courthouse and tossing widespread debris in the area, officials said.
The twister touched down around 8:05 p.m., according to the National Weather Service's Jackson, Mississippi, office.
No severe injuries or deaths have been reported, said Lea Crager, deputy director of Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. Crager said the storm downed trees and caused power outages in Yazoo County.
A tornado watch remains in effect for southern Louisiana, including the city of Baton Rouge, and central and southern Mississippi until 4 a.m.
In April, at least 10 people died after a mile-wide tornado tore through Mississippi. Two of the dead were children, and one was a 3-month-old baby, according to the state emergency management agency. Five of the dead were from Choctaw County, in the north-central part of the state, four were from Yazoo County, north of Jackson, and one was from Holmes County, also in north-central Mississippi.
