Tornadoes

Russ and I were traveling from Tulsa back to Norman when we got caught up in a series of storms. Looking out the window, I could see 35 tornadoes swirling around us. I frantically called mom to let her know we were ok. She was very upset, but I assured her we would be fine.

The Murder of the Houseboy

I was working at the Y, but all the teachers and kids from Lincoln were there. At one of the entrances, there was an Asian man who arrived with his houseboy. They were standing outside and I could tell the boy was afraid of the man. Then the man suddenly grabbed the boy and ran a knife across his throat. I ran to the front desk to call 911. I told them about the man and that I thought it was a ritualistic killing. When I got back to the entrance, there were fire trucks and ambulances everywhere. The body had been removed, but there was a large blood stain on the sidewalk. Kids were crying and I saw a man with blood all over his shorts kneeling down and consoling a child.
