A tornado hit an Oklahoma newsroom built in the 1920s. The damage isn't stopping the presses
SULPHUR, Okla. (AP) — When Oklahoma and national officials held a press conference Monday to discuss the scale of devastation following tornadoes two days earlier, Kathy John did what she always does: She showed up to report on it for the town’s weekly newspaper, the Sulphur Times-Democrat.
But before she could write her story, John had to help her staff salvage computers from the newsroom, which was at the center of the path of destruction on April 28.
“We’re gonna get a paper out. It may be a day late, but we’re gonna get a paper out,” John said from in front of the brick building built in 1926 that houses the newsroom.
Sulphur suffered Oklahoma’s worst destruction during an outreak of severe weather when a tornado plowed through downtown in the community of about 5,000 residents south of Oklahoma City. Four people were killed across the state, including a woman who was in a bar near the newspaper’s offices.
