Storm Ready Community? - Letter to Editor Written by David Rust

Editor, Taney County Times Forsyth, Mo. Dear Editor: I see where Forsyth is now a "Storm Ready Community". That's all well and good, but I didn't see anything in the article about a public shelter being available. I know in the past we have tried to get in the parking garage at the courthouse, only to find it unavailable. A call to the Sheriff's office only brings frustration. The dispatcher knew nothing about it being opened for a storm shelter. It's a sure thing you will find church basements locked. So, Mr. Potter, where is the shelter? If the Courthouse parking garage is available, someone needs to be there to open the gate. Its good to know when a tornado or violent weather is approaching, then what? David Rust Kirbyville, Mo.
