It was just one year ago this weekend when the worlds of many were turned upside down when an EF-3 tornado touched down and heavily damaged a large area of St. Louis and St. Louis City.
The state, local and federal recovery efforts came with a price-tag well over $350-million including providing temporary housing for more than 9,400 who were displaced in the city alone.
Another $10-million was also provided with passage of Senate Bill-1 for a pilot project to cover demolition costs for 120 properties along major street corridors.
At least five people died as a result of the St. Louis tornado.
