St Louis Morning Brief Storm Damage, 20,000 Ameren Outages, Siren System Test, and Tornado Alert Questions

In the debut of “St Louis Morning Brief,” Marc Cox and Kim St. Ange take a deeper look at severe storms that swept across the region, bringing tornado warnings, hail, fallen trees, structural damage, and widespread power outages. Kim reports more than 20,000 Ameren customers in St. Louis County remained without electricity, with additional outages across the Metro East. Marc recounts driving through multiple storm cells and sheltering in a Galleria parking garage to avoid hail. The segment also examines concerns over municipal warning sirens, whether alerts were too broad or properly timed, and how last year’s deadly tornado has heightened anxiety whenever severe weather strikes the area.
