The deadly April tornado that ripped through Yazoo County and its jaw dropping aftermath will appear on the Discovery Channel’s Stormchasers tonight at 9 p.m.
Meteorologist Reed Timmer and his team chase severe storms all over the country in an armored vehicle, the Dominator. His team was on the track of the destructive storm system that eventually hit Yazoo County on April 24.
Viewers were able to catch a quick glimpse of tonight’s episode in the series’ premiere last week.
Show producers are calling Yazoo’s tornado the deadliest tornado they have seen this season.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
