Reinforcements from Mobile headed to Monroe County, Mississippi after those deadly storms rolled through.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office is now getting help to those who need it most.

“It’s been an exhausting experience up here! It definitely takes a lot out of you,” says Cpl. Lonnie Parsons with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office.

Physically and emotionally! Cpl. Lonnie Parsons and others with Mobile County S.O. hopped in their food truck Monday morning, taking food and supplies to the folks in Amory, Mississippi—one of the hardest hit areas during the deadly storms Friday night.

“In terms of this storm, no one could have prepared themselves so it was a real somber experience when you drive in and you see just huge trees uprooted,” says Parsons.

Parsons and his team hoping to provide some relief—either with gloves, and chainsaws, or with a warm meal. Especially those in law enforcement putting in countless hours to help the community.

“And if we can provide that hot meal and put a smile on their face at the same time, I think that means more to them than what they realize cause that keeps that motivation going.”

It’s human nature to want to help out—and Parsons says the victims of the tornado need plastic totes and bins.

“Can we get some plastic totes to help these people, you know, gather their dreams and gather their items and put them back together so they can feel like they have something,” says Parsons.

They’ll be in town until at least Friday.
