GRANITE CITY – In the wake of the devastating EF-3 tornado that struck the region on May 16, Phillips 66 has donated $50,000 to Granite City Community Unit School District #9 to support recovery efforts and repair storm damage to school facilities. The tornado carved a 22.7-mile path of destruction through central and northern St. Louis before crossing into Illinois. The storm, which remained on the ground for 24 minutes and nearly a mile, caused widespread damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure—tragically claiming five lives in the St. Louis region. Granite City was among the hardest-hit areas in the Metro East. At Prather Elementary School, the gymnasium roof was torn off just days before the end of the school year. Granite City is located near multiple Phillips 66 assets, including the Wood River Refinery, the Hartford Lubricants Plant, and the Hartford and East St. Louis Midstream Terminals. It is also home to many Phillips 66 employees. The donation
