‘Good Morning America’ revisits Rolling Fork as tornado recovery efforts continue
SUMMARY: Eight months after a tornado devastated Rolling Fork, “Good Morning America” (GMA) and Mississippi-born Robin Roberts returned to update on recovery efforts. Originally, Roberts visited to cover the EF-4 tornado’s damage and help raise disaster relief funds, resulting in a $30,000 donation from the show itself. Following the broadcast, $150,000 was raised for the community. During a recent follow-up, GMA announced a $125,000 contribution from 84 Lumber to Rolling Fork Rising for rebuilding homes. Despite progress, 36 residents remain without permanent housing in a town where previously 68 percent were renters.

SUMMARY: On Christmas Eve, a tragic car accident in Mississippi claimed the lives of Luke Davis, a 17-year-old high school kicker, and Zebulon Lott, a 33-year-old nurse. Davis, a senior at Columbia High School, was on his way to Hattiesburg after visiting his girlfriend, when his vehicle collided with Lott’s. Davis was poised to play Division I football at a university like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, or LSU. Grieving family and friends remember him as a dedicated athlete. Lott, after a long shift in the ICU, left behind a wife and three children, prompting a GoFundMe campaign for his family.
