HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- Seeing children pulled from what's left of the Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Oklahoma has us taking a closer look at schools in the Tennessee Valley.

The truth is a vast majority don't have storm shelters within their schools in Decatur City, Madison City, Huntsville City, Limestone and Madison counties.

It wasn't until a mandate in 2010 that new schools had to be built with a storm shelter to accommodate the students and faculty.

Those without can only do their best to protect students by taking them to the interior of the building and drill them once a month on what to do.

Owens Elementary in Limestone County does have a shelter, and the new James Clemens High School in Madison has one that can sustain winds up to an EF-5 tornado.

Huntsville City Schools already has a shelter at Blossomwood Elementary and is set to build seven new schools with shelters.

Athens Police arrested a second person in a burglary investigation Tuesday morning.

Clifford Dewayne Kyle was the second person arrested for a burglary that happened on March 17th on Maple Street.

Police said Kyle and another man, Ronnie Plyant, took a washer and dryer valued at $200.

Kyle was booked at the police department and charged with third degree burglary.
