Boiling Temps Not Going Away
The record high temps are scorching parts of Oklahoma this week, and Fox
25 Chief Meteorologist Jeff George says they are not going away anytime
soon. Oklahoma City Public Schools are taking precautions to keep
students cool and safe. They are stocking buses with cold water, and
keeping students in doors for recess. Water rationing in parts of the
metro have also become mandatory. City officials say odd numbered
addresses should water on odd days of the week, even numbered address on
the even days of the week. Stay out of the heat as much as possible,
and stay hydrated.

Teen in devastated Okla. town handing out hugs
May 25, 2013 02:26 GMT
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- The people of the Oklahoma town where a deadly tornado struck could use just about everything -- cleaning supplies, food, water, shelter.
Thirteen-year-old Halle Carr thought residents of her hometown could also use a hug after the twister Monday that killed 24 people in Moore.
Halle has been standing on a corner with a white sign that reads: "Need a hug? I am here!" And people are taking her up on the offer.
On Friday, people in work trucks, cars and vans loaded with belongings rolled down their windows and reached out their arms to the girl. Some shouted words of encouragement.
Halle said it makes her feel good to spread a little cheer. She said she'll come out every day, as long as she thinks she's needed.
