SPOKANE, Wash. - Two bears who have been living at Cat Tales in north Spokane for six years, now have a new home thanks to two very generous donors. The bears, Oso and Oscar, were moved into a brand new 2500 square foot enclosure Friday morning.

Employees at Cat Tales made a specialized chute and laid down a trail of marshmallows to lead the bears to their new home. The bears seemed to be quite pleased with their new surroundings and are looking forward to next week when a ribbon cutting ceremony will give the public a chance to see the home.

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Wind, humidity and rainfall combined precisely to create the massive killer tornado in Moore, Okla. And when they did, the awesome amount of energy released over that city dwarfed the power of the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. Meteorologists contacted by The Associated Press used real time measurements to calculate the energy released during the storm's life span of almost an hour.
