How to donate to Grenada County storm victims
ELLIOT, Miss. — Cleaning efforts are underway across parts of Mississippi following tornadoes over the weekend. Countless volunteers have dedicated their time and energy to helping those in need. From food and water to clothing and shoes, there are plenty areas of need in recovering Grenada County. Clothes are organized by size and tables are stocked with supplies at Elliot Baptist Church. 'You see it on Facebook. You see it on the news and it's nothing compared to driving through here and seeing people that you love and their house is being completely destroyed,' volunteer Morgan Eskridge said. Despite having no power in the area, the resilience of the community shines through. Three people hospitalized following severe Grenada County storm 'It was heartbreaking. The damage was heartbreaking,' volunteer Madeline Willis said. 'And I tell you, I slept right through it on Friday night. But when I got up on Saturday morning and went down eight, I just said, 'Thank God that no one was killed in this storm.' Eskridge said people from as far as China have donated money. Folks as near as Memphis have given food and clothes to victims of the storm. 'People are getting out and cleaning up and just any little thing helps. People are asking, what can we do? What can we do to help? We set up a Venmo that people can use, the needs on the ground,' Eskridge said. 'They may not have home insurance. So, it's just so important that people help people.' Several food trucks are helping out, free of charge, including Grub662 which traveled from Calhoun County. For more information about how you can donate, click here.

Dolphins re-sign 4 players just as free agency begins
Dolphins re-sign 4 players just as free agency begins The Miami Dolphins announced new contracts for four of their players who were set to become free agents Wednesday afternoon. New deals for safety Elijah Campbell and outside linebacker Quinton Bell were already reported ahead of the start of the new league year. Those two were joined by offensive lineman Jackson Carman and wide receiver Dee Eskridge. Carman, 25, was a Bengals second-round pick in 2021, but joined the Dolphins practice squad in September 2024 not long after he was waived by Cincinnati. Miami moved him to the active roster in December and Carman appeared in eight games. He was the Dolphins' starting right tackle in a Week 15 game against the Houston Texans. Eskridge, 27, was also taken in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft -- 10 selections after Carman. The Seattle Seahawks waived the receiver and returner at the end of training camp, and he landed on the Dolphins' practice squad not long after. Eskridge was moved to the active roster in October and finished the season with three receptions for 44 yards in six games played. The terms of the deals to retain Carman and Eskridge haven't been reported or announced.
