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.
America will figure it out eventually
Everyone is on their own
Unless you’re a billionaire … your government has abandoned you
I lost my house to a forest fire when I was a kid and the help we got was literally life saving. This time around I’m already stockpiling dry food and water. Also been getting a bunch of work done on my car so it’s as reliable as possible just in case I need to leave in a hurry. Got my “oh shit” bag ready to go in my car too with some extra water and food in the trunk. I live in an area that’s prone to forest fires and flash floods so I’m not really taking any chances for when shit hits the fan. Usually I’d call this overkill but I don’t think that applies this time around knowing that no one is coming to help.
Americans already know this. We’ve known this for as long as we’ve been alive.
The recent events have made the surprise help go away… That sucks, but it’s not shocking. That’s how our society works. Everyone is on their own outside of local charities.
Excuse me. We don’t do that anymore here in the United States. Grab those bootstraps and shut the fuck up peasants. If you didn’t deserve it, almighty god wouldn’t have thrown that tornado at you. Don’t be a drain on the state. Leader has deals to make. These bombs ain’t gonna just drop all on their own. Besides, they’re working on a glorious parade for you. What more do you want?
If I die I just want to die knowing my president had a sweet-ass jet.
Next up is wildfire season, floods, hurricanes, oh my.
Huh…wonder why that is. Must be a coincidence i guess
Remember when Republicans were forming posses and threatening FEMA employees with guns during Milton and Helene and then the organization was gutted during the California fires?
I 'member
Republicans aren’t giving aid to red as shit counties so unfortunately a blue county isn’t going get anything unfortunately and knowing Republicans, they’ll try to charge them for just reaching out.
Goddamn there are some ignorant fucks in this thread.
I live in this shithole state (on the opposite side of St. Louis, but still), but 99% of the people I know here aren’t conservative in the slightest. But that’s not gonna stop people from blanket labelling the entire state as redneck hillbilly fascist fucks.
Please, do better and realize that St. Louis itself probably has most of the liberals in the state so you’re attacking your own interests.
And magats will celebrate.
“Please FEMA come save us. Oh, you were defunded. How about just helping the whites? The straight ones. “ -MAGAcuck
Its not even defunded. Its an actual act of the president to ignore declaration requests.
Its also just had massively swept funds that are instead being appropriated to ICE.
Wait a month or two, ADA will kick in.
Welp, tough shit
Worked well for Sanders…
…oh wait.
