told nine people dead and just moment ago i spoke with cnn's ed lavend d lavandera who just arrived in yazoo city, missouri. >> reporter: we just arrived at yazoo city and our first glimpse whether we saw as you see along the highway 49 the main road that brings you into in city, you see about a half-mile wide swath off of that highway where this storm's essentially ripped apart many the businesses, restaurants, they were right there on that stretch of highway and then back in -- into -- off of the road you see where the storm cut through and essentially just clipped hundreds of trees in half. we just arrived and we're told that the damage really kind of begins where we're at and stretches back a mile and a half off of this highway. so we're in the process of trying to get a sense and get back in there as best we can so that we can do our best to assess the damage. >> and, ed, i imagine people are devastated. have you had a chance to speak to any residents, anyone who witnessed this or is affected by it? >> reporter: yeah, actually one
