SUMMARY: The Amery Panthers, a football team, lost their field due to a tornado. However, they have found a new home at Tupelo's Renaissance field and will play the Saltillo tigers there. Reed's department store and other businesses in Tupelo have come together to help finance this and support both teams. They have contributed to paying for security, meals, and other expenses. The community is coming together to help the Amery Panthers recover from the tornado, and donations are being used to rebuild the infrastructure and make Amery a place where people want to come back to.

SUMMARY: A house fire occurred near Baxterville in Lamar County amidst thunderstorms in the Pine Belt area. Officials do not suspect foul play and believe a lightning strike may have caused the fire. This assumption is based on homeowner reports and continuous lightning strikes during firefighting efforts. Firefighters managed to quickly contain the blaze, resulting in minimal visible damage to the exterior of the home. No injuries were reported.
