A metal canopy outside Mr. Jiffy convenience store in Charleston crashed beneath the weight of ice buildup from Winter Storm Fern.
Damage assessments continue in Tallahatchie County in the wake of Winter Storm Fern, which brought to the area the first major ice storm since the "Great Ice Storm of 1994."
As of 1 p.m. Tuesday, large areas of the county, especially eastern Tallahatchie, including the entire city of Charleston, still were without power, and Mayor Sedrick Smith Sr. said he had been given no set timeline for restoration.
A Tuesday morning update from Entergy estimated that electrical service could remain out in some areas of the state through the coming weekend.
