Weather Alert, 12:33 p.m.: A storm coming out of the south is bringing high winds and heavy lightning to Logan County.
At a loss for words. Dan Fulscher, Logan County Emergency Management Agency director, thought the open house last night would give him the opportunity to give recognition to others who have been vital to the center's progress. Instead he found out the center has been renamed the Daniel A. Fulscher Emergency Operations and Communications Center in his honor. From left: Norma Bathe, Rick Aylesworth, Fulscher, Logan County Board Chairman Terry Carlton and Mike Patridge. More pictures in today's Top Stories.

This May 1 file photo shows Cleveland Cavaliers coach Mike Brown gesturing during Game 1 in the second round of the NBA basketball playoff series against the Boston Celtics in Cleveland. The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired coach Mike Brown after five seasons for failing to win an NBA title with LeBron James. "After a long and deep analysis of all of the factors that led to the disappointing early ends to our playoff runs over the past two seasons, we concluded that it was time for the Cavaliers to move in a different direction," Gilbert said Monday  in a statement released by the team.
