Weather radios are back online after outage — and it's Election Day
This is your 5-minute round-up of Oklahoma news for June 10, 2025
What’s happening, Oklahoma? It is Tuesday, June 10, and this morning the Oklahoma Ambassadors of Music are on a train to Paris! I’m filing this from a Eurostar train station in London. This will be an abbreviated newsletter — and I greatly appreciate your patience while I’m out.
One reminder for today — it’s Election Day. Go vote!
Back to Europe…
Here’s a photo from Monday’s choir performance at St. Matthew’s Bayswater church, where we were also given quite the pipe organ exhibition by a church employee. Beautiful church!

Maintenance updates wrapped up a day later than expected on the National Weather Service’s weather radio system.
An official with the National Weather Service in Norman said the radios, which broadcast targeted weather-related warnings into people’s homes, went back online late Friday.
Maintenance was originally expected to run from Tuesday until Thursday afternoon.
The technology upgrades, which were mandated by the National Weather Services’ headquarters, knocked the weather radios offline across parts of North Texas and in numerous Oklahoma cities, including Ardmore, Atoka, Chickasha, Clinton, Enid, Lawton, Altus, Oklahoma City, Ponca City, Wichita Falls, Wewoka, Stillwater and Woodward.
