Pet Friendly Storm Shelters

With storm season arriving in the Tennessee Valley, now would be a great time to save your local storm shelter information in your phone. It is important to note that you should always call ahead to check if they are open, as some only open under certain conditions.

We will go live with News19 if the situation becomes severe. Tune in to 102.1 WDRM on the iHeartRadio app.
