On March 24, a powerful tornado traveled at least 170 miles, killing more than 25 people, injuring hundreds and causing damage primarily in Mississippi. The supercell that produced this deadly twister also appeared to produce tornadoes causing damage in northwest and north-central Alabama and then Georgia.
UMCOR awarded grants to the Mississippi and Arkansas conferences as well as to the United Methodist churches of Indiana. It also allowed the North Alabama Conference to use unused funds previously awarded to address the current disaster.
