A complex of intense storms rolled through the area early Saturday morning, June 7, 2025, knocking down tree limbs and power lines and causing some outages. Mike Honigsberg, certified director of Enid/Garfield County Emergency Management, said damage was reported north of Enid in the Pond Creek and Lamont areas, but what caused that damage has yet to be determined. kAmQ(6VC6 ECJ:?8 E@ >2<6 E92E 56E6C>:?2E:@?[Q w@?:8D36C8 D2:5] Q(6VC6 ?@E C62= DFC6] xE 4@F=5 92G6 366?

You’re driving along one fine day, and all of a sudden it hits you. Don’t worry ... everything’s fine as long as you let it hit you, and not vice versa. kAmr@?7FD65n x’== 6IA=2:?]k^Am kAmtG6CJ@?6 <?@HD E96C6’D E9:D 3C:89E 32== @7 =:89E :?

On several occasions the past few weeks, I have been doing some astronomy work in and around town. I look up ... and I just happen to be looking in the right spot ... and a white meteor comes streaking high above. kAm%96 ?6IE BF6DE:@? ?2EFC2==J H@F=5 36[ :D E96C6 2?J D@CE @7 >6E6@C D9@H6C 8@:?8 @?n %96 2?DH6C E@ E92E BF6DE:@?

When you look anywhere to the north on a clear night, it’s warming to the soul to see the Big Dipper and Little Dipper in their familiar places — stalwarts of a stellar kingdom. We know the patterns by sight; we can draw them by hand almost without looking. We can do the same with other constellations — like Orion or perhaps Pegasus.

Recently we had the Full Flower Moon — and as we head into the weekend, the moon will edge closer to last quarter phase. While the moon won’t be nearly as bright as it had been, there will still be quite a bit of moonlight. But the cycle will continue, and a new full moon will come around — the next will be the Full Strawberry Moon on June 11. kAm|@@?=:89E[ 2D 92D 366? DE2E65 :?
