Record 226 Tornadoes in 24 Hours Last Week

    It is said that there were more tornadoes on that day than any other day in history! There were 312 outbreaks last week, including 226 tornadoes in one day. A new record! Although its not exactly a record one would like to have, it is still a record. The older record was 148 in 1974. It was a deadly twenty-four hours that killed many.


Osama bin Laden Killed by U.S. in Pakistan
  
    Osama bin Laden was killed after hiding out as the most wanted terrorists for a decade. He was known for planning the 9/11 plane crash into two buildings, killing many American people. President Barack Obama states that justice has been done. A small team of Americans killed bin Laden and three others in a firefight. This event took place on Sunday. An excited crowd gathered outside the White House as word spread of bin Laden's death after a global manhunt that lasted nearly a decade.


At New Orleans Jazz Fest, 'It's All About the Food'

    At this Jazz Fest, the chefs plan on serving fourteen thousand crab cakes! That is an abundant amout of crab cakes, enough to feed an army. First, they'll put flour and then an egg wash on each one and cover it with Panco, the airy Japanese bread crumbs that give the spicy dish an extra crunch. Then they'll deep-fry them at 350 degrees for a couple of minutes and serve them with smoked-tomato and jalapeno tartar sauce. Chefs say that they won't be able to look at another crab cake for months!
