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.

Their friends and family didn’t.

You obviously don't know much about Missouri. St Louis may as well be a different state than the rest of Missouri when it comes to demographics. The city is about 42% white, while the state as a whole is 77% white, for example. The Black people living in Missouri largely don't have white friends and family living in the countrysides they could have pleaded with to vote for Harris.

Reality, in a post truth and aggressively ignorant failing nation.

You seem to be sucking down some aggressively hateful ignorance.

We're making the case that St Louis, which overwhelmingly voted for Harris, and was recently struck by a tornado, does not deserve to be lumped in with the rest of Missouri. They share very little in common politically, geographically, or demographically. The only thing they really share is a border on the Missouri River and a section of I-70.

Nobody here is praying for Uncle fuck and Jimbo down in Jeff City.

You are correct, I do hate fascists, traitors, and their apologists. You should too.

Put your brain damage device down and take it up with your treasonous friends and family.

Thank you for your replies and counterpoints.

I truly hope fellow Missourians can peel themselves away from their trans porn obsession and help St Louis recover.
