CARLYLE — Kenny Arbuckle had a plan for what he would do if a tornado was headed toward his home.
He’d roll his wheelchair into the garage, where he had a chain connected to a pipe which was secured in cement.
“I’ll just chain myself to that and ride it out,” he thought.
His neighbors had other ideas.
A group of Good Samaritans, including area businesses, joined forces to build a tornado shelter on Arbuckle’s property. Arbuckle is disabled because of a muscle wasting disease and spends all of his time in a wheelchair.
