“I have a friend in Meridian who had a large tree cut her home in two.”
Was it on Poplar Springs Drive? I know of two there...
Laurel was hit pretty badly, especially for being so far north of the beach. The tornadoes did their worst. I don’t remember how long it was before I 59 (59?) opened, but it was quite a while.
I was totally shocked to find out the Meridian had been declared a national disaster area, though from hearing my parents talk about it during the few times I could reach them, it sounded pretty dang bad.

She actually lives in Meehan Junction, about 7 miles west of Meridian. Believe me, it was bad.
