Such a storm discussed as a scenario during a weeklong disaster exercise could nearly bankrupt the state displace 1 million residents destroy homes and schools and even free zoo monkeys that could terrorize Floridians.

Hurricane relief? Maybe
Dallas Morning News
Hurricane season is here. But the real test of this “fix” will come when Texas is hit by another Hurricane Ike or two.

Tornado Apollos defy odds to meet in 6A final
Mail Tribune
RADI: KGAY (580-AM). F NTE: North Medford is making its fifth appearance in the championship game since Medford High split in 1986 and sixth overall. The Black Tornado earned titles in 1984 ’97 ’98 and 2002 and was runner-up in 1996. This is Sunset’s first time in the state final. The ability to defy expectations has been a trait enjoyed by the softball teams at North Medford and Sunset high schools during their trek to today’s Class 6A state championship game. Neither team finished as a conference champion nor were they given much of a chance to be the last teams standing when the state playoffs kicked off two weeks ago. But as a testament to the character of each team here they stand with an opportunity to secure their own slice of history.
