FEMA's list of potential natural disasters exhausts me! As we mourn the horrific earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in 2011, we confront a series of tornado tragedies in the USA.Providing shelter from severe weather has always been problematic, and many towns are taking action. With FEMA's help, Maplesville, Alabama has built the community storm shelter shown here. Shaped like a mantle clock, this structure saved more than 100 people from damaging winds and tornadoes last Jan. 23, 2012. Read more about this community shelter.
