Weekend storms continue to damage homes already devastated by May 16 tornado
SUMMARY: Heavy rains over the past weeks have worsened damage in North City’s Vil neighborhood, already devastated by the May 16 tornado. Homeowners like Gail Davis are struggling as rainwater floods their homes, causing black mold and mildew, damaging clothes and furniture. Temporary tarps failed to protect homes from water, forcing families like Davis’s to stay in temporary shelters, such as a downtown Fairfield hotel provided by the Urban League. Without electricity or running water, and with homes deemed unsafe, residents face prolonged recovery amid ongoing storms. The community remains hopeful for relief and repair as weather conditions fluctuate.
“The rain is worse,” said Gale Davis, whose family has called Labadie Avenue in The Ville neighborhood home for decades.
