Barnsdall Mayor: Breach At Lake Waxhoma Dam Fixed Temporarily, Situation Under Control
Crews worked through the night at the Lake Waxhoma Dam in Osage County, trying to fill a hole that was discovered on Wednesday.
Barnsdall Mayor Johnny Kelley said that the situation is now under control and there is no imminent danger after crews finished temporary patching to the 15-foot hole after working for nearly 14 hours. It s not causing the water to increase the size of the cavity under the dam and further erode it so it s a manageable place where it s as good as it s going to get before we do a permanent fix on it, said Mayor Keeley.

Feb. 5 | All of the hand sanitizer for sale in the Target in Watertown was quickly wiped out as people stocked up to prepare for the arrival of the novel coronavirus epidemic in the U.S. Within weeks, grocery stores would experience a surge in people panic-buying food and supplies.
It feels like an understatement to express that 2020 was a year like no other and yet, a review of the photographs that best helped us tell stories of the raging pandemic, protests for racial justice and an extraordinary presidential election makes the singularity of 2020 clear.
Our photographers, Jesse Costa and Robin Lubbock, captured a year rich in devastating loss and anxiety, but also showed us moments of solidarity even levity in Massachusetts.
The pair got as close arguably closer than most to many of the scenes that define the last 12 months. These are the images that will stay with us beyond this year.
