This is an important message from the McClain County Board of Commissioners and the Office of Emergency Management.
In an effort to provide aid to those who sustained damage from the tornadoes of May 24, FEMA has set up a Disaster Recovery Center for Individual losses at the Blanchard Intermediate School Cafeteria, located at 400 North Harris. Office will open Friday June 10, at 9AM. This location will be open Monday through Saturday from 9AM to 7PM and Sunday noon to 6PM.
For those driving into Blanchard on highway 62, there is a traffic light at the Intersection of State Highway 62 and Tyler. The intermediate school parking lot is on the north side of that intersection.
Please bring receipts for work completed, and proof of ownership of the damaged property. McClain County Building Permits will be available at this site, as well.
Thank you for your help in getting this message out to those needing assistance.

Delta Airlines is not evil and viral videos can be misleading.
So after you get past the headlines it turns out that United and American had the same policy - only 3 bags allowed free in coach class. The military didn't concern itself with the details and told soldiers they could take 4 bags. Four bags were allowed in first class but how many soldiers traveling on orders get to fly first class?
I'm no fan of Delta, but they're getting a rap they don't deserve and as soon as it hit the fan they raised the limit to conform with what is expected.
Someone near and dear to me suggested that Delta could have made an exception for the soldiers. While this is possible with some small companies it doesn't happen in corporate culture. The workers at the ticket counter don't have authority to waive hard-set prices.
Ok, I'm finished. Let the bashing begin.
