OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John D. Doak has issued a bulletin to all Oklahoma-licensed property and casualty insurers and insurance producers, advising them to keep customers on their current policies for at least 60 days after the completion of repairs.

The move should give the policyholders enough time to make repairs and obtain coverage from another insurer.

“As a result of the devastating tornado outbreak, thousands of Oklahomans have filed property claims,” said Doak. “Because of that, insurers are now reassessing risks and issuing non-renewal notices. Due to the backlog of work that contractors and repair shops are currently experiencing, many repairs won’t be completed before the policy expires. That results in open and pending claims that prevent the policyholder from obtaining replacement coverage. We want to prevent that.”

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA — The film is called ‘Worm’.

As in most small budget movies the director, Andrew Bowser, is also the star.

Now there are two really amazing aspects to this full length motion picture.

The first, in more than 90 minutes of running time, there is only one, cleverly concealed, video edit.

The second, it was all shot with one camera angle, with a miniature Go-Pro camera attached to the actor.

“We were trying to figure out what to shoot this on,” admits Producer Ian Woods who was in on the planning stages of ‘Worm’.

Woods also gets credits as actor and crew member on this film.

Also, “sound guy, I mean I wore like ten different hats in this movie.”

He’s an Edmond North graduate.

‘Worm’ shot over Labor Day weekend, 2012.

OKLAHOMA CITY–In the last few weeks, we’ve heard of scam artists and looters targeting storm damaged areas.

Authorities say they’ve already spotted unlicensed contractors in the tornado zones, trying to take advantage of storm victims.

Okla. Rep. Joe Dorman says anyone rebuilding his or her home or other property needs to ask the contractor for a construction lien release.

The document indicates the contractor has been paid in full for the project, which also restores the clear title to the property owner.

In other words, it gives the homeowner proof that the contractor no longer has a claim on the property.
Dorman recommends getting the paperwork when the project is finished, but before you hand over the final check.
