“The community foundation committed about $45,000 to make sure this project could be built,” Wilson expressed.WSFA 12 News is preparing to mark the fifth anniversary of the deadly Beauregard tornado, which swept through the small Lee County town March 3, 2019. The shelter may look small, but it can have a huge impact in rural communities like Beauregard. It holds upwards of 30 people, and it also provides peace of mind for a community that is still healing from the storm five years later.“I looked out my front yard and saw a dark cloud coming across it,” Sowell explained. “Coming out, it was just an eerie silence, then you hear the sirens and you hear people crying and calling out for help.
Sowell’s church, Providence Baptist Church, became a center for relief supplies in the storm’s aftermath. He also helped in the planning for the shelter. The shelter will be dedicated Sunday, March 3, to the 23 people who lost their lives. The dedication will be at Beauregard Fire Station No. 4, located at 14656 SR-51.
