Opinions on Oklahoma’s weather are often more variable than the weather itself.

Some Oklahomans will look back on April 2022 and remember the seven confirmed tornadoes that touched down, although that is still below the long-term average of 11.7 for the month.

Many others will remember drought that saw both intensification in the northwest and improvement across the southeast.

There is one aspect of this April’s weather that would unite most Oklahomans, however — the wind.

Being able to help people “on their worst day” is why Misti McClellan said it means so much to her to be part of the American Red Cross.

A 1989 graduate of El Reno High School, McClellan serves as the Red Cross executive director for Central and Southwest Oklahoma. Her territory covers 17 counties. And in Oklahoma, that’s a lot of area where a lot of things can go wrong.

In a hurry.

McClellan was in El Reno recently speaking at the El Reno Now gathering hosted by Mayor Matt White and School Superintendent Craig McVay.

El Reno High School held its 2022 Junior-Senior Prom last week at The Festivities in downtown El Reno. Students and their dates were treated to a red carpet experience during the Grand March.
