COY WIRE: Hello, everyone.
I'm Coy Wire.
This is "CNN 10."
Welcome to a brand new week of awesome.
It's Monday, March 27--
or 3, 2, 7, 2, 3.
It's Like the number version of a palindrome--
you know, a word or phrase that's
spelled the same forwards and backwards-- like mom or radar.
Or was it a car or a cat I saw?
Anyways, let's keep it moving forward,
and onward, and upward, and get you your stories for the day.
Now we start with some sad news out of Mississippi,
where a devastating EF4 tornado has brought heartache and loss.
EF4s are considered violent and extremely rare,
making up only about 1% of all tornadoes.
More than 20 million people in the south
and parts of the midwest were under severe storm
threats as of Sunday.
And at least 10 tornadoes were confirmed
to have hit Mississippi, Alabama,
and Tennessee over the weekend.
26 people across the southeast were killed--
dozens more injured from these powerful storms.
We're going to go now to Rolling Fork Mississippi-- a town
of fewer than 2,000 people--
where residents saw absolute destruction
of their homes and businesses.
The mayor said that the city is just gone.
The town was hit by winds of speeds
of up to 170 miles per hour.
Drone footage shows homes completely
leveled and unrecognizable.
Vehicles were tossed around like they were nothing-- trees,
snapped and splintered.
Search and rescue efforts took place over the weekend.
But those who were found and needed help
had to be transported 50 miles away to a hospital
because the one nearby wasn't available.
President Biden approved a disaster declaration
for counties in Mississippi early Sunday
morning, ordering federal aid to help
recovery efforts in the areas affected by the severe storms.
We'll hear now from CNN's Isabel Morales
with more from Rolling Fork.
Please know if you or anyone are affected
by these tragic storms, our hearts and minds are with you.
- Powerful storms and at least one tornado
pummeled the southeast on Friday night,
nearly leveling some neighborhoods
and knocking out power for thousands, officials said.
The confirmed tornado touched down
in Mississippi, where the damage and deaths
will have been most severe.
Search and rescue efforts for storm victims
began after the tornado struck the towns of Silver
City and Rolling Fork.
ELDRIDGE WALKER: The state of my town?
Devastation.
As I look around, families are affected.
Homes are torn up.
Families are without a place to live.
Children are hungry-- no clothes.
We're devastated.
- The city of rolling fork is in Sharkey
County, the origin of many of the storm fatalities.
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves issued a state of emergency
in all counties affected by the severe storms,
according to a release.
State agencies led the search for victims.
And FEMA has arrived to help with the recovery.
DEANNE CRISWELL: Right now, we still are in a lifesaving,
life sustaining mode.
And we want to make sure that the state has everything
that they need as we work to make
sure that no additional lives are lost.
I think as you are watching the images--
and I'm watching these images--
it's just heartbreaking to see the devastation that
this community has sustained.
- The tornado that flattened much of the community
of Rolling Fork was rated at a strength of EF4,
according to a member of the National Weather Service
team surveying the damage.
LADONNA SIAS: Even though we lost everything,
this stuff can be replaced.
Material things can be replaced.
But to lose a loved one--
it was just heart-wrenching.
COY WIRE: 10 second trivia-- which
planet most closely resembles Earth in mass and size?
Mars, Venus, Neptune, or Saturn?
[GUITAR MUSIC]
Scientists say Venus is most similar in size,
though its atmosphere is said to be a poisonous inferno.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
This Tuesday, we're going to be able to look up
into the nighttime sky and see a rare phenomenon--
a parade of planets.
And one of them is Venus.
Now, it's more common to be able to see
two or three planets in what's called a planetary parade,
or planetary alignment.
But this time experts say we're going
to be able to see five planets at the same time-- all lined up
beneath the moon in the same part of the sky
like pearls on a necklace, they say.
They also say that the sky has to be clear.
And that our best chance to see this planetary parade
will be by looking towards the horizon in the west
just after sunset.
Are you going to be watching?
If so, snap a pic and tag me @CoyWire.
Have you ever had anything delivered
to your home via drone?
The idea of having hovering crafts
dropping packages at our doorsteps
has been around for years.
But it's not anywhere near mainstream
yet because of regulations from the Federal Aviation Agency--
or FAA-- and because of neighborhood
safety and privacy concerns.
Those are just some of the factors that have hampered
companies' abilities to deliver any sort of product or food
from above.
But the race for drone deliveries is heating up.
And a fully autonomous home delivery future
is closer than ever.
The startup Zipline is giving us a closer look at what
that future might look like.
[THOUGHTFUL MUSIC]
KELLER RINAUDO CLIFFTON: What we've heard again, and again,
and again is that customers really also want a way
of delivering directly homes.
And so over the last 3 and 1/2 years,
Zipline has been designing all the technology--
but behind the scenes--
to enable instant, autonomous home delivery.
[THOUGHTFUL MUSIC]
It can be less expensive.
There's zero emission.
And it's just a better delivery experience to boot.
It's more reliable.
It can operate with higher service level guarantees.
And it can serve more homes.
[THOUGHTFUL MUSIC]
Ultimately, yeah-- we do think it's quite inevitable
that you're going to see this transition
toward these more efficient, faster, and zero-emission
ways of delivering.

COY WIRE: Do you hate getting up early in the morning?
Well so does Doris.
Now, Doris is a dairy cow from England
who's gone viral for being so relatable to so many
snooze-lovers around the world.
She'll even pretend to be sleeping
while all the other cows get up to go
off in to the milking machines.
We see you, Doris.
Milk it for all it's worth, baby.
Jeanne Moos has more.
- Do you hate--
[ALARM CLOCK]
[BANG]
--getting up in the morning?
So does Doris.
All the cows at Reads Farm on the Isle of Wight in England
got up and left for milking.
- Except for Doris.
Doris is actually pretending to be asleep.
- And for faking sleep, Doris has gone viral.
People relate.
I am Doris, was a typical comment.
JOHN BRODIE: Oh, Doris.
Doris has got a fantastic personality.
She is definitely more person than cow.
- She's one of John Brodie's favorites.
JOHN BRODIE: You're a mischief maker.
You leave my coffee alone, please.
- When Doris pretended to be asleep, John called her out.
JOHN BRODIE: Doris, come on.
We see your ears moving.
Come on I can see your eye, yeah.
- How'd he know she was faking?
JOHN BRODIE: Around 30 seconds beforehand,
she had her head up and was looking straight at me.
She put her head back down thinking
that she was going to get away with it just to push her luck,
be cheeky.
- Now, Doris has fans online.
I think I found my spirit animal.
Leave Doris alone.
But Doris doesn't leave John alone.
And why was she licking the back of your head?
JOHN BRODIE: Grooming.
She's grooming me.
It means-- as far as I'm concerned-- she's-- she accepts
me as a member of the herd.
- She grooms him.
He grooms her.
JOHN BRODIE: What's this all over your face?
COY WIRE: I am utterly in love with Doris.
And we're all utterly in love with you.
Thanks to everyone who reached out to say hello this weekend.

Cawley Middle School in Hooksett, New Hampshire,
