For those who have no place to stay to ride out the storms, the City of Dallas is opening several temporary emergency shelters to provide those without a home a warm, safe place to sleep.
According to the Dallas Voice, Fair Park's Automobile Building will serve as a "Temporary Inclement Weather Shelter" for the city's homeless population.
