Bill Hough gave his wife Diane the gift of peace of mind when he purchased a storm shelter for Mother's Day. Hough is constructing a shell around the shelter to make it more aesthetic and to blend it in to the neighborhood

Bill and Diane Hough have lived in their Alexander City home for nearly 26 years, and like anyone who has lived in Alabama for an extended time, they are familiar with the temperamental Southeastern weather. One day, the sun is shining, and life is good; the next, everyday activities are interrupted by storm clouds on the horizon or the scream of weather-warning sirens. Every storm brings the threat of changing life forever. With this in mind, the Houghs took some steps toward personal security – and at the same time, extended a helping hand to their neighbors.
Bill Hough hails from West Newton, Pennsylvania, but his wife Diane is from Montgomery. Hough is retired from the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, and Diane is retired from Wells Fargo Bank.
