ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - Many of the victims of the May 16 tornado are uninsured. Vanessa Brown-Livingston bought her house on Labadie Avenue in 2019. Last week’s tornado damaged it so badly that it’s been deemed unsafe. It’s also uninsured. “They don’t want to insure the houses because of them being so old. All of the repairs on the houses that you have to do,” she said. Brown-Livingston said she couldn’t afford to make the repairs required by her insurance company to continue her coverage.

Adding to Hayden’s frustration is the fact that he’s been without electricity since Friday afternoon. “Had to use candles. I got some lanterns, outside lanterns, the kind you fish with. I’ve got some of those,” he said. According to Ameren Missouri, nearly 200,000 customers lost power in the tornado.
