An anchorman's take on news, money, family, life and a lot more
Take a look at those temps on the left. Day after day after day of blistering heat. Last summer Tulsa had 44 days over 100 degrees, hitting 113 on at least one afternoon. July 2011 in Oklahoma was the hottest month in the U.S…. ever. Oh my! The summer of 2012 is nearly on par […]

There’s another threat of severe weather moving into northeast Oklahoma tonight. After a hot, sunny day the clouds are moving in this evening. Even the wildlife are on the move. That’s a tarantula spotted just outside our station’s backdoor tonight. Maybe he senses something in the air, and is heading for cover. Then again, maybe […]
