Chickasha is all too familiar with the after effects of violent storms as the city sustained an EF-4 just two years ago.

Local State Representative Joe Dorman (D) called on legislatures yesterday to pass a bond issue to combat what he called " a lack of adequate storm shelters" in Oklahoma.
Large storms will move through Grady County this afternoon.
