Oklahoma lowers tornado death toll amid frantic search

Oklahoma lowers tornado death toll

Emergency workers searched for survivors in the rubble of homes, schools and a hospital in an Oklahoma town hit by a powerful tornado, but officials on Tuesday sharply lowered the number of deaths caused by the storm.

Scenes from the 2013 Preakness Stakes

Pictures: Fans at the Preakness showed up for racing, music and cold beer, not necessarily in that order. Clouds and afternoon rain did little to dampen the mood at the race, which drew its fourth-largest ever crowd.

The summer season kicks off this weekend when 718,200 Marylanders are expected to leave town for the beach or mountains, 1.2 percent fewer than a year ago, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic.
