Storm victims grateful for open storm shelters

Some storm survivors only have a roof over their heads this morning, because of open shelters. A Red Cross shelter at First Baptist Church Center Point is housing about 12 people, including children.

At the height of the storm, there were three shelters, now two remain open.

A displaced storm survivor we spoke to only wanted to go by "Sandra". She says she cannot believe she is living in a shelter, but she is grateful it is available for people.

Some people living in the shelters had major damage to their home or their electricity is still off. Others are literally left homeless and lost everything during the tornado.
