I was there. No one ever said it was in "great shape," just that we had, as you said, poured money into the school. The issues that OKCPS has with it have not been our focus. We've been improving the...
There are some "application" schools on the south side, like Southeast HS, but I'm not sure what the admission requirements are. But when they say "application" they don't mean charter.
I...
It's 5 acres. That was covered in our community meeting today.
The meetings have been going to 11 p.m., 12 p.m. and apparently beyond. I don't think any of the reporters stuck it out that long. That would be some long video. KOCO had Facebook live for the first...
Growing up south of the Arbuckles, I can say there are a lot of superstitions about those old mountains regarding the weather. So much of the time a system would be up here, get to the mountains, and...
Do they make dome-like covers you can put over your property to keep it dry? I sure could use something like that right about now.
Someone smart, go invent that right meow!
Also, when it was in the 60s several times over the last couple of weeks, and then suddenly 90, it feels a lot hotter than it would have if we had gradually gotten ourselves there. I was still...
We went through this last year and needed a new condenser (outside unit). Yours could just be a dud. If it's under warranty, then you can get something done now before it gets really hot. Everything...
Yes, he should be pretty angry about that. It just makes for click-bait on KOCO.com.
Yeah, the panhandle will hit 100 sometime in June probably, like it always does. Or somewhere in far SW OK. It's just far too desert-like there for it not to.
A little more sun would certainly help my veggies in the garden get more established. We're waterlogged and unable to mow our overgrown backyard because it literally squishes under your feet, and...
Right. My mom lives in a small town where they are ignored by our mets up here (I think she just gets KFOR) because it's so far away, it's too far away for the Dallas stations to care, and their...
Well, if you're outside working in the yard, or at a kid's soccer game or just out at the park, then yeah, they certainly help. If you're having fun you may not notice something coming up, or it...
Well that was a short-lived nightmare. Thank goodness for the sump pumps and drains.
Anyone know of people who have underground sump pumps in their yard? Is that a thing?
I do not want to have to re-floor this house for a third...fourth...fifth? Time. No. No no no.
If it weren't so darn windy in this state I'd build a house on stilts.
Has that line shown any indication of lessening over time, or is there just so much moisture that we can expect the same kind of rain here?
*crossing fingers for less rain*
Venture -- in your educated opinion, will that wall of water out west make it to the metro, and if so, when would that be? A friend has a wedding tonight but I'm worried about needing to be here to...
Doesn't matter.
You don't have to live in a flood-prone neighborhood. It's the city streets that become the problem. The storm drains can't keep up and street flooding becomes a problem. The ground is so saturated...
Probably because flash flooding covers a larger area of the metro, and could potentially affect many more people, than a tornado could. It's a real threat. Perhaps they haven't put out anything about...
Pretty gnarly storm here on the NW side this morning. Raining very heavily and the wind is formidable.
All I know is how things are handled at my school.
Unexcused absences mean the kid wasn't in school and no one called to vouch. Teachers do not have to allow the student to make up missed work,...
You realize all of the above things can be just as destructive as a tornado, right? And that flooding is going to cause people a lot more headaches because most won't have flood insurance and regular...
Still holding out hope that we can have our picnic today. But I'm feeling doubtful. I don't want to be a whistle-blower, but I also don't want us to all get trapped in a potentially dangerous...
