A severe tornado recently swept through St. Louis, resulting in at least 7 deaths and leaving extensive damage across the region. The EF3 tornado, which had winds exceeding 150 mph, carved a path 1 mile wide and 23 miles long, devastating communities and leaving around 5,000 buildings damaged. The mayor of St. Louis has publicly appealed for federal assistance, highlighting delays in aid from FEMA amidst ongoing recovery efforts. Survivors recount the chaos of the storm, while families mourn loved ones lost, including a woman who tragically died when a church roof collapsed. As communities begin to clean up and organize relief efforts, organizations like the Red Cross and local relief groups are stepping in to provide critical support to those affected.
