   DETROIT (AP) -- Ford is recalling more than 89,000 new Escape SUVs and Fusion sedans because the engines can overheat and catch fire.
   The company says the 2013 vehicles have 1.6-liter engines and were sold in the U.S. and Canada.
   Ford says it's working on a fix and is asking owners to call their dealers, who will loan them another car at no charge until the problem is solved.
   The company says it has reports of 12 fires in Escapes and one in a Fusion. No injuries have been reported.
   Fusion and Escape models with different engines are not affected by the recall.

Tornado hits OKC suburb, kicking up debris
May 19, 2013 22:29 GMT

EDMOND, Okla. (AP) -- A tornado kicked up debris in an Oklahoma City suburb and threatened a number of tourist attractions on historic Route 66 before growing into a larger storm that rolled across rural parts of central Oklahoma.

Television footage Sunday showed a tornado at Edmond . The storm threatened a novelty soda-pop store and a historic barn in the small town of Arcadia, then grew into a larger storm as it moved northeastward a few miles north of the Turner Turnpike between Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

The Storm Prediction Center had forecast a moderate risk of severe weather in Oklahoma and adjacent portions of Kansas and Missouri.

TV video also showed power flashes from transformers blowing out as they were hit by high winds or debris.
