Weather Knocks Out Water In Parts Of MS, LA

Icy winter weather has left most of the 161,000 residents of Mississippi’s capital with little or no running water for days, and the mayor says it’s unclear when water service will be restored as freezing temperatures have knocked out power and water to parts of the Deep South. The icy conditions are part of a viciously cold spell that has also devastated Texas, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity there as temperatures plummeted and cutting water supplies in many areas.
