Midwest Tornadoes Leave at Least 25 Dead Amidst FEMA Funding Debate
Severe tornadoes ripped through Missouri and Kentucky, leaving approximately 140,000 properties without power and causing significant structural damage. At least 38 injuries were reported in St. Louis alone, with fatalities resulting from building collapses. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing in heavily impacted areas, alongside the imposition of a nighttime curfew to ensure public safety. The storms, part of a broader severe weather system affecting the central and eastern US, struck a region known for its susceptibility to tornadoes.
