SUMMARY: The Fire Chief of Sipsey is advocating for a second storm shelter after the existing one became overcrowded during recent tornadoes. With a population exceeding 300, the shelter, built after a previous deadly tornado, housed 150 people ranging from a baby to an elderly individual needing an oxygen tank. Chief Hagler mentioned an incident where a young person outside had a seizure, prompting immediate assistance. Current shelters within 5 to 6 miles were also full. Hagler aims to discuss the need for an additional shelter with Walker County Commissioners, emphasizing the urgency for community safety.
