SUMMARY: After decades of searching, a group in Pervis, Mississippi, has found the mass burial site of victims of a deadly 1908 . The Lamar County Historical Society has led the effort, with George Stevens and Ernestine Thompson playing key roles. Thompson’s members have long known the general location of the graves, but the exact site remained elusive until now. The group plans to continue researching the victims and possibly installing markers to honor them. Over 140 people lost their lives in the devastating EF4 tornado, and the community is finally able to pay to their memory.

SUMMARY: Happy Friday, Pine Belt! November is here, and I hope you enjoyed Halloween—I certainly did with some candy. Recently, we received half an inch of rain after a three- dry spell, with lingering showers in like Pike County. However, expect mostly cloudy skies with just a few sprinkles, so enjoy Friday Night Lights without worry. The tropics are also changing as wraps up, with low pressure expected but unlikely to impact . Remember to prepare for earlier sunsets at 5 PM, but we should stay warm despite the shorter days. Enjoy your !
