EMA: Technical Problem Kept Doors Of Local Shelter Locked During Weather Emergency

Delaware County Emergency Management Agency officials blame a technical problem for keeping the doors of a tornado shelter at Delaware State Park locked on Sunday. 

An estimated 100 people were attempting to gain access during a line of severe storms. Agency director Sean Miller says the electronic signal sent to unlock the shelter failed to activate. Miller says the problem has been fixed. 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
