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.
Then be better/smarter in the future. Don’t condemn an entire state of people to shit just because you don’t like how some of them voted.
That’d be like me unironically condemning all of Florida (even the normal people that live there) just because I personally don’t like the governor/government of the state and policies they try to enact.
I think it’s important to make the distinction that not everyone in a certain part of the map deserves whatever tragedies happen to them. People are complex.
