CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Kleberg County is opening the FEMA dome at H.M. King High School Thursday for anyone who needs a warm place to stay during the arctic weather this weekend.
The dome will open at 5 p.m. Thursday and will stay open until further notice, Kleberg County Judge Rudy Madrid said.
Madrid said the dome will have cots for those who need a warm place to sleep, but asks that anyone who comes bring their own bedding, non-perishable snacks and beverages and any needed medication.
If anyone is in need of transportation to the dome, they can contact David Garcia at 361-228-1892.
"Bunker down and look out for your neighbors!" Madrid said.
