St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer told MSNBC on Monday that FEMA had yet to assist after the city was ravaged by a tornado days prior.
The tornado first touched down in St. Louis on Friday. The storm — reportedly 20 miles in length at its strongest — killed at least five people in St. Louis County at the time of writing. Spencer reported during a press conference that 38 people had been injured, and that number was expected to increase as recovery efforts continued.
Friday’s tornado was one of many that affected the region over the weekend, with Kentucky also being hit by storms. At the time of writing, dozens of the dead had already been found.
Thanks for the well written reply. The people who have fought these far right nutjobs the most are the black folks in north St Louis City. They deal with every form of racism there is. North City folks are now suffering hard from a second massive storm, the tornado took the roofs, the storm last night flooded the houses and apartments.
So tired of ignorant takes generalizing about supposedly red states for an internet own. It only hurts our people more.
