This will be a big weekend on the roads, and police in East Texas and across the US are doing what they can to keep us all safe. Don't forget to buckle up! Friday will be the busiest travel day, but some folks are starting their vacations now and we can expect the roads to be packed all week.

College Graduates Enter the Real World With a Load of Debt
Good for you, you've graduated! Now what? You enter the real world with a great education and lots of enthusiasm...and mounds of debt!
We should have taken a poll of SFA grads last Saturday as they walked across the stage to get their diplomas. It varies of course, but the average college graduate leaves school with $35,200 in debt.

Tornadoes Rip Through Texas, Leave Several Dead
Today in Lufkin and Nacogdoches we have the chance of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms, but the situation doesn't appear to be anything like what North Texas saw last night.
As many as ten possible tornadoes ripped through areas west of Dallas-Fort Worth Wednesday night, and left 250 people homeless, 100 injured, and 6 dead. Changes to those numbers could come today as emergency responders fully assess the damage.

Lufkin Gets a NICU
Chances are, you know someone who has benefited from the NICU - that's Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit.
I have two friends in Dallas who gave birth to baby boys that needed a little extra help getting started in life. One spent a month in the NICU, and one spent nine days there. Both are doing just fine now! One is 7 now and the other just turned 2. They started out their lives hooked up to tubes and on respirators, and they're just as happy and healthy as every other kid now.
