Devastating Storms unleashed late Friday night and early Saturday morning across central and southern parts of the country. These storms ravished states such as Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, and Mississippi. It’s reported more than 30 tornadoes were moved across the affected states. Causing hundreds dead and millions worth of damage. Many governors of the affected states have sent letters to President Joe Biden seeking federal recovery funds. Biden hasn't had time for a response in full, but is quoted, "in touch with state and local officials as the search for survivors and damage assessments continue.”
This disaster was declared as a state of emergency in Kentucky with the Governor even reporting that the death toll will surpass 80 as bodies are still being recovered. Particularly in Mayfield Kentucky where 110 workers were inside a candle factory when crushing winds collapsed the building to rubble. In the Nashville International airport, it is reported that winds reached a record-breaking 78 mph. These winds have left nearly 30,000 residents without power in the Nashville area.
In my opinion, I believe that this disaster was the worst storm of 2021. I also think that the United States government should send money, supplies, and workers to help clean up the ruble. I think the sooner help is sent to these affected states than the quicker we fix and focus on other problems in the United States. I believe this storm will affect America's economy and infrastructure in the central and southern United States for lots of time to follow.
Questions:
1. Do you think enough is being done to help the affected states?
2. In general, What are your thoughts about these storms?

I think that the government needs all hands on deck right now. trained professionals should be traveling to these locations so that it moves faster. I also think that scientists need to research whether this is caused by global warming or something else so it can be prevented. I also think it's strange that there are tornadoes happening in december.
I agree that the U.S.A has its hands full, but should still help deviated communities when they require essential help.
I think we need to hurry and help these places out and do all we can do. these storms were horrible and I don't think the government is working as fast and hard as they need too.
I agree that the United States government should help those affect and quickly.
In my opinion government definitely should work harder in order to make up this terrible event. Lot of lives has been destroyed and devestated. There are bussinesses that are destroyed too which is economically a big impact.
I think the government should be working extremely hard to send relief funds to these people whose lives have been devastated. The families who have lost people they love and the businesses/operations who have lost resources, workers, and equipment/supplies all deserve compensation and sympathy for this disaster.
These storms are very unfortunate and honestly very very sad. I feel bad for all the families who lost a lot including loved ones and for the busiensses that lost their buildings. I think they are doing their best to help people and these cities, but maybe sending money to them would help.
I agree that these storms are very unfortunate and sad. I also believe that sending supplies to the affected areas would greatly benefit the local residence and environment.
I think Biden should be trying to send money, supplies, and help as quickly as possible. It was obviously a terrible storm that needs attention quickly to resolve quicker. These storms are very unfortunate for the families who had loved ones die. It also hurts the businesses whose buildings were brought down.
I agree that Biden should send help to the affected areas and quickly. I also agree that many businesses will struggle to reopen with their stores demolished.
