National Weather Service issued a tornado warning about 11 minutes before
the EF4 tornado touched down in Rolling Fork MS.
Why didn't people living in poor communities learn about the warning?
Thing I learned, Indiana pass a law requiring all new mobile homes have a
weather radio installed -- similar to requirements for a smoke alarm. Poor
communities likely can't afford to buy or maintain them.
Outdoor warning sirens have various problems (cost, reliability,
asleep and indoor locations).
