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.

    Nah they denied money to Alabamas recent disaster too lmao. It’s not even political it’s just the rich really need that money more than you boo.

    While I agree with your sentiment, no one’s looking at the city of KC to fix a problem in my town in Maine. The whole country is a victim to this, that’s the whole fucking point, there’s no one to look to for help anymore. Don’t worry the wealthiest liberals in your city will be fine, ask them for help and see if they’re any different?

    Truth is no one can be bothered anymore. Just marinate in that suffering until you have the urge to change
