Mississippi tornadoes kill 23

Deadly and destructive tornadoes spiraled through parts of Mississippi overnight, killing at least 23 people, injuring dozens, and destroying homes and towns, Axios' Herb Scribner and Andrew Freedman report.

?? What's happening: The violent tornadoes resulted from a surge of warm, humid air northward from the Gulf of Mexico, along with a fast-moving current of air known as a low-level jet stream.

Between the lines: Nighttime tornadoes are deadlier than those that strike during the day, in part because people are less attuned to sources for tornado warnings.

The bottom line: Multiple risk factors scientists have been warning about for years combined last night to create this unfolding disaster.
