Twister picks up Weather Channel storm chasers

I suppose it was bound to happen at some point....

Five people died in the tornado outbreaks last night in Oklahoma. These Weather Channel guys were lucky.

Update: OK medical examiner's office now says 9 people were killed last nigh by OK twisters.

Oklahoma ... the new Virginia?

The Democrats are reeling in Oklahoma after losing everything on Election Day to that continually-turning-red-red-red state. Conservatives there not only won the state for John McCain but they took control of both houses of their Legislature for the first time since statehood. They kept intact their record of Republican presidential wins since 1964, a record that fell this year in Virginia.
