JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Strong winds toppled trees and damaged buildings in northern Mississippi as the remnants of Harvey blew through the state.

The National Weather Service says it’s too early to confirm whether tornadoes touched down Thursday. Marlene Mickelson, a meteorologist, says wind damage was reported in and around Booneville and just north of Tupelo.

No injuries were immediately reported.



Mickelson says weather service employees will survey the areas Friday to confirm whether there were tornadoes.
