A tornado hit an Oklahoma newsroom built in the 1920s. The damage isn't stopping the presses

When Oklahoma and national officials held a press conference Monday to discuss the scale of devastation following tornadoes two days earlier, Kathy John did what she always does: She showed up to report on it for the town’s weekly newspaper, the Sulphur Times-Democrat. Sulphur suffered Oklahoma's worst destruction during an outreak of severe weather when a tornado plowed through downtown in the community of about 5,000 residents south of Oklahoma City. Kathy John's husband, James John, joined the staff in 1968, after his father ran it for 27 years.
