Second tornado in 5 weeks damages Oklahoma town and causes 1 death

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Powerful storms have erupted in the central United States, bringing tornadoes to rural Oklahoma and large hail in parts of Kansas. At least one death has been reported in Barnsdall, Oklahoma, which had been hit by a tornado five weeks ago on April 1. Authorities say at least 30 to 40 homes in the Barnsdall area were damaged Monday night and a nursing home says it evacuated residents because a gas leak couldn’t be turned off due to storm damage. In Kansas, some areas were pelted by apple-sized hail. The severe weather continued Tuesday and follows heavy rainfall in Houston, where floodwaters began to recede Monday.

(AP) — Instacart is partnering with Uber Eats to offer restaurant deliveries to its customers. The San Francisco-based grocery delivery company said Tuesday that its U.S. shoppers will see a “Restaurants” tab in the company’s app in the coming weeks.

Boy Scouts of America changing name to more inclusive Scouting America

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114-year history. The Texas-based organization is announcing at its annual meeting in Florida on Tuesday that it will become Scouting America. It’s a significant shift for the organization as it emerges from bankruptcy after a flood of sexual abuse claims, and focuses on including everyone after decades of turmoil. The organization steeped in tradition has made seismic changes, from finally allowing gay youth to welcoming girls throughout its ranks. CEO Roger Krone says the organization wants any youth in America to feel very, very welcome.

TikTok sues US to block law that could ban the social media platform

(AP) — TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance are suing the U.S. federal government over a law that would ban the popular video-sharing app unless it’s sold to another company. The lawsuit filed on Tuesday may be setting up what could be a protracted legal fight over its future in the United States. The popular social video company alleged the law, which President Joe Biden signed as part of a larger $95 billion foreign aid package, is so “obviously unconstitutional” that the sponsors of The Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act are trying to portray the law not as a ban, but as a regulation of TikTok’s ownership.
