I wanted to edit this post, as it turns out, city leaders have said that they have NOT seen FEMA on the ground in STLMO, after the tornados went through. This wasn't a small track tornado, as it was 1 mile wide, and went 22 miles through the metro area...
ARTICLE BELOW (a portion of only): A prominent Republican lawmaker like Hawley begging a Republican administration to approve emergency aid for a Republican state is a sign of how badly federal agencies responsible for the welfare of vulnerable populations have eroded under Trump. The plea came a day after St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer told MSNBC that "FEMA has not been on the ground" and that the city does not "have confirmed assistance from FEMA at this point."

"What we need right now is federal assistance. This is where FEMA and the federal government has got to come in and help communities. Our city cannot shoulder this alone. The state of Missouri cannot shoulder this alone," Spencer said. "We need partners at the national level, at the federal level, to step up and help - and this is not just true for St. Louis. Cities across the nation, when they are experiencing disasters such as this, this is what the federal government is for."

MY OLD ARTICLE:

So, we in STLMO will feel the first impacts of tRUMP's cutbacks at FEMA? I have still seen FEMA on the ground,
In STLMO broadcasts, but perhaps after all is said and done, we'll get a better picture of what tRUMP has cut out, and how it's impacted this Central West End community that got hit w/ the 1-mile-wide tornado, w/ a 22-mile path through the city.
