Big plans soon to be on the table for Starkville Oktibbeha School District
SUMMARY: The Starkville Oktibbeha School District in Mississippi plans to borrow up to $87 million to update or build new facilities. The district is allowed to issue bonds under state law that consolidated the Starkville City and Oktibbeha County School Districts. The district's total assessed value of taxable property is just over $500 million, allowing them to issue a bond worth up to 20% of that value. The district is considering a facility study and prioritizing the construction of a new high school. A referendum for the bonds is not required unless petitioned by 20% of voters.

WCBI/MSU Storm Chase Day 4 Recap – Home – WCBI TV
SUMMARY: A storm chase group traveled from Oklahoma City to Big Lake, TX and Midland/Odessa, encountering severe storms with potential baseball-sized hail. The storms lacked low-level shear but had decent mid & upper level shear that allowed for organization. They witnessed hailstones up to 3″ in size and experienced a separate severe storm on the way back to the hotel in Odessa, which produced an impressive mammatus cloud field. They captured a cool shot of departing storms and immediate clearing caused by a miniature area of low pressure. The group documented their experiences and shared images on social media.
