DAVISTON, Ala. (WSFA) - Forty-eight feet long. 10 feet wide. Solid white and strong!
“The most important thing to me is it can save lives," said Daviston native Ginger East.
East had hoped this day would come, because Alabama often gets reminded tornadoes don’t care what it’s in the way.
“You can’t put a number or an amount on a life," East said.
The entire tube-like shelter is solid steel, anchored down in concrete which goes 24 inches deep. How Daviston landed the storm shelter is a story in itself.
“When we had that local emergency planning committee meeting. There was a limited amount of people who showed up. The mayor of Daviston, Joe Clark showed up, couple of others and we drew names out the hat and he was the lucky guy," said Tallapoosa County Emergency Management Agency Director Jason Moran.
