National Weather Service says Oklahomans should have multiple ways to receive storm warnings
SUMMARY: Overnight storms pose significant risks, especially in Oklahoma, where recent tornadoes have devastated homes. The National Weather Service advises residents to be prepared with multiple ways to receive emergency alerts, such as weather radios and phone notifications, rather than relying solely on outdoor sirens, which are not effective indoors. Lead Meteorologist Vivek Mulhall emphasizes the importance of having a plan and knowing safe shelter locations, as warnings may not provide much notice. Residents are also encouraged to ensure their phones are set to receive and sound emergency alerts, particularly during nighttime storms.

Edmond police use DNA evidence to identify robbery suspect
SUMMARY: Edmond police identified a robbery suspect using DNA evidence from a hammer left at the scene of a gas station burglary. Two individuals stole approximately $5,000 worth of cigarettes in April, with one suspect photographed breaking in with the hammer. DNA analysis, conducted six months later, linked the hammer to a suspect already incarcerated for another crime. The gas station owner has since enhanced security measures, such as installing metal bars, due to concerns from the robbery. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities pursue charges against the suspects involved.
