A dam failure has been reported in Pearl River County, MS, on Thursday afternoon. Emergency management says that the Anchor Lake Dam has been compromised and as many as 55,000 people are in the path downstream from the failure.
Those in the path are urged to EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY with a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY in effect.
Kyle Busch wasn’t just one of the fiercest competitors our sport has ever seen, he was one of the most talented race car drivers I’ve ever shared a track with. We spent years as teammates at Hendrick Motorsports, and even as competitors, there was always a deep respect for what he could do behind the wheel.
Kyle pushed all of us to be better. His passion, intensity, and love for racing were unmatched, and his impact on this sport will be felt forever.
I'll always remember the many laughs and conversations away from the spotlight, and most importantly the way he cared so deeply about his family.
My heart goes out to Samantha, Brexton, Lennix, Kurt, his parents, many teammates across the industry, fans and everyone who loved Kyle.
NASCAR lost one of its greatest talents today, and we've all lost a friend.
Additional ground surveys and analysis of aerial imagery have revealed the starting point of the May 6th South Mississippi long track EF3 tornado was further west than originally believed, in far southwestern Adams County. The revised tornado track is over 81 miles long.

Drone video reveals extreme forest destruction in Franklin County southeast of Roxie, Mississippi after a significant tornado tore through the area last night. A Tornado Emergency was in effect at the time, and you can see just how intense it was in this area. I estimate the damage path was nearly a mile wide here…
