alabama. here in silver city, this little community of just 300 people, about 330, three people were killed in this tornado on friday. the overall death count, as you said, at least 26. search and rescue efforts are ongoing, so the number could rise. federal officials were on the ground looking at scenes like this yesterday, kind of getting a scope of the damage, to estimate the disaster relief that will be allocated to the worst, the hardest hit areas, after president biden declared the state of emergency. after all of this, the weather just keeps oncoming. we had another round of storms with tornadoes touching down in alabama last night. i can tell you, it was a chilling round two for people here who are just praying that the weather lets up and that help comes soon. mika. nbc s maggie vespa, thank you so much. we so greatly appreciate it.
nation last night from mississippi, and much of the damaged area is in his congressional district. he said, you must remember, these are people that had low income in the beginning. now, the little they had is gone. you don t know how the recovery is going to be able to take place. and how long it will take. this is the worst you can imagine. we ll be following the search and recovery efforts. still ahead on morning joe, much more on the manhattan d.a. s probe into donald trump. we ll take a look at house oversight committee chair james comer s argument for why the former president shouldn t be investigated. plus, the latest by the way, that guy is so oh, my lord. i want to be careful with what i say. let it speak for itself. i ll let it speak for itself. it will speak for itself. embarrassing. the latest from ukraine, as well, as russian president vladimir putin says moscow will station nuclear weapons across
that s going to remain the case on sunday. you see rain creeping up. i will talk about that in just a moment. this is that line of storms that kind of swept across mississippi, alabama last night. now settling into portions of southern georgia. not likely to become as severe of storms yesterday but we did see severe storm warnings moving through mitchell county. you see a lot of lighting. winds up to 60 miles an hour but nothing like what we were seeing yesterday. likely the storms will continue to produce perhaps just those damaging winds with some of the severe thunderstorms. tornadoes are very unlikely at this point. a lot of the fuel and a lot of the energy has been used up. we still have at least a chance for some severe weather popping up later this afternoon but again probably not as severe as you saw yesterday take you into sunday, kind of a similar forecast. this is your severe threat. it does mean severe thunderstorms are likely but
