ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - FEMA is approving $3 million in disaster recovery funds to help rebuild after the May 16, 2025, tornado. The funding comes 13 months after the twister destroyed Centennial Christian Church, killing Patricia Penelton when the building collapsed. “It was very emotional seeing it come down, actually I cried because it was just an impact forever in this community,” said Annette Smith, a longtime Fountain Park resident.
