SUMMARY: The North Haven volunteer fire department in Union County is looking to provide storm shelters for their community to protect residents from tornadoes. After a tornado hit a nearby town leaving people without safe shelter, the fire department wants to prevent a similar situation in their area. The cost of each shelter is between $8,000 to $110,000, but they believe it is an important investment in the safety of their community. To raise the necessary funds, they are organizing a fried catfish supper with live music and entertainment. Community support is crucial to making these shelters a reality and ensuring the safety of the residents.

The mayor has scheduled a meeting with the workers to address these issues and urged them to consider the impact on riders before taking any further actions.
