Winter storm slams the Gulf South
Description
On this week’s episode, we take a look at how one of the worst winter storms in years slammed into the Gulf States – and what the fallout has been.
Thousands across the South were left without power, in the freezing cold, for days. Mississippi, in particular, was hit hard. Over a week later, counties in the north still had tens of thousands of people without power.
We talk with community engagement reporter Elise Gregg about how officials responded to the storm and Kobee Vance, of Mississippi Public Broadcasting, who went to one of the areas affected the heaviest by ice, sleet and freezing rain.
This episode is hosted by Joseph King. The podcast is produced by Elise Catrion Gregg, Drew Hawkins, Orlando Flores Jr. and Ryan Vasquez. Nellie Beckett is our community engagement producer. Joseph King is our social producer. Our theme music is by DJ Supreme.
