Video: Mississippi: Tree branch crashes through home’s glass door during severe storm

MISSISSIPPI — A severe storm sent a large tree branch crashing through a glass door at a home in Mississippi, highlighting the dangers posed by strong winds and flying debris during severe weather.

The incident caused significant damage to the home but also served as a stark reminder from weather officials to stay away from windows and glass doors when severe thunderstorms or high winds are occurring.

Emergency officials routinely advise residents to seek shelter in an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows, glass doors, and exterior walls, until the storm has passed.
