Tornado Safety Tips From Texas Health Dept
The Texas State Health Department offers guidance for tornado emergencies. Actions include cutting gas and water before impact, opening north and east windows, seeking shelter in a storm cellar or cave, or taking cover on the lowest reinforced floor or against the southwest wall. Stay clear of windows and move at right angles to the storm path if outdoors. If escape is impossible, lie flat in a ditch or low area to avoid debris.

Monahans Taxpayers Challenge City Hall Plan
All Quiet representing Monahans taxpayers contends the city lacks authority to tear down the current City Hall and build a new administration wing and remodel the police station plus a new fire station. The 143rd District Court will rule before any appeal to the Court of Civil Appeals in El Paso, as with the Orbit case. City Manager Don Edmonds said the city will file its answer before Friday, and there are no new developments.
