In a devastating turn of events, storms and tornadoes wreaked havoc across Kentucky and Missouri on Friday, leading to the loss of at least 21 lives. Amidst the chaos, one tornado notably passed through the St. Louis neighborhood of Jim Hoft, the founder of Gateway Pundit, sparing his home but leaving downed trees in its wake.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear confirmed the grim news that at least 14 residents lost their lives in the state, with expectations that the toll may rise as further details emerge. In a poignant message posted on X, he urged, “Kentucky, we’re starting today with the tough news that we lost at least 14 of our people to last night’s storms, but sadly, this number is expected to grow as we receive more information. Please pray for all of our affected families.”

According to USA Today, over 45,000 residents in Kentucky were left without power as of the morning of May 17, intensifying the challenges faced by emergency responders and residents alike.

During a press briefing, St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer described the storm as potentially one of the worst the city has ever faced, noting that more than 5,000 homes were impacted. “The devastation is truly tremendous,” Spencer remarked, emphasizing the urgent need for rescue efforts. “This is a hard night for many, many families. Our city is grieving tonight. The loss of life and the destruction is truly, truly horrendous. Our priority tonight and for the next 24 hours is life — protecting it, finding those who may be trapped, and getting them to safety.”
