On December 23, 2015, an EF4 tornado, which was one of multiple tornadoes in the area, hit northern Mississippi and southern Tennessee. With 170 mile per hour winds, the tornado left a path of destruction over 75 miles long. The outbreak of supercell thunderstorms storms and tornadoes continued until December 25 and resulted in 13 deaths and many more injuries. In response, Operation BBQ Relief volunteers distributed meals to displaced residents and first responders.
