So grateful that there was no loss of life in St Louis from the storms and tornado.

Thanks to all the first responders and emergency crews for their great work.
I have checked in with Mayor Slay and County Executive Dooley, and my staff has been in contact with their offices also. We have also been in communication with the staff at Lambert airport to offer any assistance. My legislative staff is checking in with FAA, TSA, DOT, MIssouri National Guard, to let them know we’re monitoring the situation and response. General Danner of the Missouri National Guard is reporting a fair amount of structural damage in their buildings at the airport. County Executive Dooley’s office is reporting tornado damage in several neighborhoods. Mayor Slay’s office, of course, has the lead on Lambert. The Governor declared an emergency last night and we’ll have more SEMA/FEMA teams on the ground soon.

I’m proud of the efforts being made by all the public servants who are dealing with the damage from this tornado. I’m also confident in their abilities and know everyone is working together as a team.
