The first European power to lay claim to Oklahoma was France.
Although his expedition never actually made it anywhere near present-day Oklahoma, the region was nevertheless claimed by France. France would then control the region from 1682 until 1763.
Only the extremities of La Louisiane were explored and used by the French during their control of the region, and as such, Oklahoma was completely untouched.
Lawmakers are looking at a joint resolution that would allow cities and towns to have local elections to see if they want to issue bonds to build tornado shelters and strengthen buildings.
A pair of Oklahoma legislators say businesses, schools and churches that open their doors to citizens during severe weather should not be held liable if people are hurt or killed. The proposal is in response to a lawsuit filed by relatives of those killed after taking shelter in a convenience store in the 2013 tornado.
