Merkel: Euro debt crisis will last 5 years or more

   BERLIN (AP) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel says Europe's sovereign debt crisis will last at least five more years.
   Merkel says the continent is on the right path to overcome the crisis but "whoever thinks this can be fixed in one or two years is wrong."
   Two years ago some heavily indebted European countries were dragged into the turmoil that first gripped global financial markets in 2007.
   Greece in particular has been struggling with the austerity conditions imposed on it by countries such as Germany.
   But Merkel told a regional meeting of her Christian Democratic Party on Saturday that the time had come for "a bit of strictness."
   Otherwise, she says, Europe won't be able to attract international investment.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A tornado watch is in effect for western and central Oklahoma.

The weather system brought severe thunderstorms to the Altus and Clinton areas, as well as Harper County late Saturday afternoon. There were no reports of rotation as evening approached but the tornado watch lasts until 11 p.m. Saturday.

The dangerous weather is forecast to continue into Sunday night as the system progresses to the east.

The tornado watch area Saturday stretched from eastern edge of the Panhandle to include the Oklahoma City area.

The National Weather Service in Norman reports tennis ball-size hail along U.S. 62 near the border of Harmon and Jackson counties in the state's far southwest.
