Hispanics Left Without Warning of Approaching Storms. Families Seek Safety with Firefighters in Rogers, Arkansas

“The storm sirens that blasted in Rogers late Sunday night sent most people to a safe spot in their homes, but some Hispanic families didn’t know what to do.

They showed up at Rogers Fire Station 1.

Fire Chief Wesley Lewis said Monday that several Hispanic families were sheltered at the station until the storm passed. They didn’t understand what the sirens meant and didn’t know what to do in severe weather, he said.”
