OKC Fires
I'm watching the coverage on CNN about the fires in Oklahoma City. So far they've given the population of OKC as in the lower 500,000's and then they just recently changed it to the 600,000's. They keep emphasizing OKC Proper. They just called the OKC Metro being at 600,000-800,000 people. Of course its a terrible tragedy, but its interesting how CNN deals with other midwestern cities.

Actually the fires were a great blessing, if you were to go back to any of the scorched spots around the metro, of course the trees are sort of... mahagony (there's a fancy word for any bad situation) but the grass is a lot greener than in other spots. It makes the land more fertile. I say burn the whole state...
I can't stand to watch cable news (Cnn OR Fox) but I can see that happening... 600,000 isn't even half of the population of the metro. I guess Cnn (Cable News Network) looks bad if the nation's Most Dogged City has more people than they have viewers.

The bad thing is that they emphasized "city proper" when it was probably a patch of completely undeveloped fields on one of our 600 square miles, miles away from any signs of civilization.
"Oh, so that's what OKC looks like... a big field... The people must live in sod homes beneath the ground or something..."
