1755 MichaelPalmersvilleRemember May of 2003? My wife and I and our five children huddled in a closet and prayed. Praise God!!!
1756 juanitascotts hillWe need a better storm shelter for four families that use ours. It gets full with water, and it's just not big enough. Thank-you, Juanita Phillipa
1757 AbigailDicksonI need a storm shelter for my family's safety.
1758 KENNETHADAMSTHESE SHELTERS ARE SERIOUSLY NEEDED BY AN UNPREPARED PUBLIC!

1760 DonnaMillingtonWe paid lots of taxes in the state of TN and US. We have a right to be safe also.
1761 BeckyJacksonI think this is a great idea. We have survived several deadly tornados in Jackson, TN in the last few years and think this is a worthy cause to have grants issued for. Thank you for your efforts.

1765 DarleneHendersonvilleI completely agree, our area has been devestated by tornados increasingly in the past four years.

1767 AnonymousGallatinPlease implement a grant program for buying storm shelters in TN. We've watched two go close enough to our house to consider it a danger.

1769 JeffLakelandI feel so strongly about the need to protect my family that I have already paid to have a shelter installed in our home in spite of the fact that there is no grant program in Tennessee.

1780 KellyLawrenceburgI would like for Tennessee to help with the grants for storm shelters. It would cut down on the loss of life due to these awful storms. I know that as a homeowner, I can not afford to install one without some assitance, but I would love to have one so that I would be able to keep my family safe.
1781 JuliaEadsWhen I was house-hunting 5 years ago I was amazed that there were almost zero houses that have basements in Shelby County. Also, the current building style of "open" floor plans means that there are huge open rooms (usually with large windows) and no small interior rooms where people can go to protect themselves from a tornado. (Our only room is a bathroom with large mirrors and ceramic tile everywhere. Nice projectiles!Unfortunately, all of my family cannot fit in the room, so we have to sacrifice somebody.) According to NOAA, Storm Prediction Center Statistics, Shelby County and most of TN are in the highest wind zone in the U.S. (zone IV, 250 mph). Shelby County has numerous tornado warnings every year. We have already been warned in Nov. 2008 when a tornado hit Memphis; we need to encourage others to get shelters before we have another disaster, only this time with many lives lost.

1797 BrandyGarrisonMedinaI took ands dugs a hole with my buckteeth, then I dropped a dog house in tha hole with the door facin up. I nailed a toilet seat on the top for a door. Thens I buried it. Now whens a tornada come, I gets in my doghouse and I feel at home since I look and smell like one, plus I can smokes crack until the tornada is gone.
1798 VickieNewbernI am a resident of Dyer County, TN who, given the severity of the storms during the past few years, is concerned that no one or organization in my community do not provides adequate protection from high energy storms. The high cost and/or technical difficulty of personally building such a structure serve as a barrier to most residents placing a storm shelter on their property.
1799 DarroArlingtonWe need this.
1800 kerryRockwoodI live in a trailor,and have no safe place at all to go to during a storm.
