Volunteers are pouring in to help storm victims in Etowah
County's Smiths Institute community, near Sardis City. The Red Cross estimates that 25 homes were
destroyed in Monday night's storms and more than 100 more were damaged. Officials say a volunteer center has been set
up to dispatch volunteers to where they're needed within the disaster zone, and
even give them wristbands that will allow them past law enforcement
checkpoints. The volunteer center is
located in the fellowship hall at Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church on Sardis
Road. There's also a donation center set
up on Highway 431 at 255 Main Street in Boaz. They are accepting food and
personal items, but no clothing.
