Icy Weather

As you probably already know we've been getting very unusual weather changes lately.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma the weather has gotten freezing. On Friday, freezing rain fell and there was a huge windy storm. The storm left several states coated in ice. This storm has also been very deadly. In fact, at least two deaths have been blamed on this storm. In addition, a few schools closed down early and dozens of flights were delayed. Some people predict that this is going to be a very long-term event.

In Kansas, several inches of snow was expected at the end of the week. A few deaths were blamed on this storm as well. One of the deaths that was blamed on this storm was of a 16-year-old boy who was riding to school on a pick-up truck. While he was riding to school the truck slipped on ice and overturned. The same thing also happened to an 81-year-old man.

In Oklahoma City a lumber truck flipped on an icy interstate 44 off exit ramp Friday.

Unfortunately, because of all these deaths and injuries we will have to be much more careful from now on.
