It was a crazy and unexpected storm yesterday evening in Comanche County. Mother Nature became moody and let loose with rain, high winds, tons of lighting and thunder, and even some hail. It's late in the season for this type of storm, but it's Oklahoma so anything can happen at any time weatherwise.

It seems like we've had more than our fair share of shootings, stabbings, break ins, vehicle thefts and an apparent increase in overall violent crime and property crime in Lawton, Fort Sill lately. In the past few weeks I've had the same conversation over and over with friends, family and co-workers. A lot of people don't feel safe and are worried about our current crime rates. So how about you? Do you feel safe living or visiting Lawton, Fort Sill?

What an honor. This award and recognition couldn't have happened to a better town. With everything that's been going on lately with the pandemic and all the other craziness the timing for this is perfect, we could all us some good news in our lives. Well here it is: Lawton, Fort Sill has been voted the #1 city in Oklahoma! I have to say I total agree with our great, little, humble, medium sized metropolis being voted #1.

I drive by Highland Cemetery every single day. Sometimes, ten times a day.

Is it just a SWOK thing?

To use a police officer as a scare tactic for a little kid who’s done something harmless (arrest-wise) is just wrong.

Happy National Farmers Market Week! Be sure to use #farmersmarketweek to follow the conversation on social media.

Doing good never tasted so GOOD! Today's the day. It's IHOP Free Pancake Day!

Oklahoma Blood Institute is experiencing an emergency blood shortage and is issuing an urgent call for donors of all blood types.

In honor of National #HugAGIDay (3/4/19), I want to recognize and give huge hugs to all the service men and women (past, present & future) who go above and beyond the call of duty to protect our freedoms.

Thanks to Oasis Day Spa for succeeding in getting me to completely change my mind about how I feel about massages.

Super heroes come in many forms. Some people may not even know that they’re built for that type of responsibility until the opportunity presents itself. Today was that day for Shykira Smith.
