SUMMARY: In the aftermath of a devastating tornado that left a 23-mile path of destruction from Clayton to Illinois, communities are showing resilience. While power remains out and recovery continues, many individuals and organizations have stepped in to help. From cleaning up debris to providing water, the outpouring of support is evident. One woman, despite her own car being totaled by the storm, joined her neighbors to assist others. Blair’s Social Second segment celebrates these selfless acts, including a story of an older man with a chainsaw, helping clear the damage in his neighborhood.

SUMMARY: The American Red Cross has opened three shelters in St. Louis to support families devastated by Friday’s tornadoes, providing food, water, meals, and a place to recharge phones or stay overnight. The tornadoes caused widespread destruction, especially in the Central West End, leaving many homeless as cleanup efforts continue with heavy equipment. Volunteers and community organizations like the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis are offering humanitarian aid to those affected. FEMA and state officials are expected to arrive soon to assess funding eligibility for recovery assistance. Despite the overwhelming damage, the community is coming together to support those in need.

From broken windows to broken lives, you can see all of the rubble and debris left behind by Mother Nature in the affected neighborhoods.
