HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Survivors are telling of harrowing encounters with the tornado that struck Hattiesburg, Miss. The twister injured injuring more than 60 people but caused no fatalities. One man says he ran from his car and lay face-down in the grass next to the wall of a church as the tornado raced toward him. Jeff Revette says 20 seconds later, bricks were strewn across a flattened pickup truck 10 feet away, amid toppled trees and power lines. About 200 homes and mobile homes were damaged or destroyed.
