Storm Shelter, January 1, 2018

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, December 22, 2017
This pretty community storm shelter is designed to keep 40 people safe during severe storms. The front faces the east; the tree is painted on the north wall. I do not know who drew the patterns, but the actual painting was done by the Keep Tupelo Beautiful group of folks.

This happy sun is on the south wall. This is a total flight of fancy - no mountains near Tupelo!
Small storm shelters are in various neighborhoods, and there are larger shelters at the schools.

I am not sure what the west wall mural portrays. It looks like a huge Easter egg to me!

Happy New Year!

  8. I suspect it would be rather crowded in there - safe but crowded. But it looks good on the outside.

  12. I'm thinking the west wall has a setting sun. Or an egg yolk. Never heard of a community storm shelter before. Learned something new. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
