Here’s a list of storm shelters. I hope this list is helpful to you. It’s best that people call first to make sure a storm shelter is open and that they can be accommodated (ex. space limitation or wheelchair accessible). Generally, pets are not allowed.
Special Alert for Woodward, Oklahoma: Due to the massive storm damage in Woodward, Oklahoma after a tornado touched down on April 15, 2012, a shelter has been set up at The Living Word Fellowship Church for anyone needing a place to stay. The address is 1310 Oklahoma Ave., Woodward, OK 73801 Tele: (580) 256-1844 or 580 256-8314
The Red Cross is also working with the church to help with the relief effort. They will have volunteers driving from Oklahoma City to Woodward, Ok with cots, water, food, & medical supplies. The Red Cross asked that people do not bring any donations at this time. They will let the public know when they are ready to accept donations on behalf of the storm victims.
