Frieda Stanley sits in what was once her living room. Her Oklahoma City neighborhood was hit by a deadly twister in May 1999 and again on Monday. The nameless neighborhood, near SW 149 and May Avenue in Oklahoma City, sits on the spot where the 1999 and 2013 tornado paths intersect. Lisa Brown helps her former colleague Kay Taylor pull belongings from the wreckage of her home. Taylor, a former PE teacher and school counselor, was most concerned about finding her collections of pennies, gumball machines and ladybug figures. Kay Taylor, 63, moved into her home here after the 1999 tornado. She plans to rebuild. Families on Tuesday and Wednesday searched for recognizable objects hidden in the anonymous rubble. Cheryl Richeson survived Monday's tornado by hiding out in her family's safe room, which is built to withstand Oklahoma's severe weather. Some people in this neighborhood say they will rebuild. Others aren't sure they trust the skies here. George Stanley recorded the tornado on his iPhone before waiting out the storm in his neighbor's underground storm shelter. He doesn't plan to leave. "It's my paradise out here," he said. Residents talked about how they survived this storm and the 1999 tornado as they pulled photos and other personal belongings from their homes. Kay Taylor lives next door to her 94-year-old aunt, whose home was destroyed by tornadoes in 1999 and this week. Both women plan to stay on this land.

The twister's destruction was merciless: it struck the Plaza Towers Elementary School, killing seven children there. In all, 24 people perished, including 10 children.

The human response to the catastrophe has been powerful too. Locals call it the "Oklahoma standard" -- "persistence and a great positive attitude by the people to never give in," as University of Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops puts it.

Photos: Kidnapped teens rescued

It was a horror worthy of Stephen King's imagination: three young women allegedly held captive in a house for roughly 10 years beginning at ages 21, 16 and 14.

They were allegedly abducted off the street in a Cleveland neighborhood by the homeowner, Ariel Castro, 52, who's now facing four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. Alleged violence and threats made the captive women afraid to seek an escape.

But one of the women -- the one who bore a child by Castro -- finally shouted for help after Castro left the house and forgot to lock a big inside door. Neighbors responded. The women and a 6-year-old girl were freed.

Now tourists visit the neighborhood. And as the city seeks donations to support the women, it struggles with a dark legacy.

Texas explosion

Photos: Texas fertilizer plant explodes

The explosion of a fertilizer plant shook the Earth like an earthquake. In fact, the blast in West, Texas, registered a 2.1 on the Richter scale, and people felt it 50 miles away.

The first responders experienced a scene for which no training could ever prepare them: a mushroom-cloud fireball lay waste to 37 blocks, including a nursing home, the local high and middle school, and many houses.

Fifteen people -- including 12 first responders -- were killed.

Volunteer firefighter Robert Payne was blown out of his boots and knocked senseless. He woke up in intensive care wondering what happened. Now recovering from several injuries, he's thankful he's alive.

As the town of 2,800 rebuilds, will it want the fertilizer plant back? The mayor doubts it.

Boston Marathon bombings

Bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15, followed by a manhunt kept the Boston area reeling until the surviving suspect was captured on Friday, April 19. Pictured, the second explosion goes off near the marathon finish line on Monday while smoke from the first bomb still hangs in the air. Here's a look at how the week unfolded: A man comforts a victim on the sidewalk at the scene of the first explosion April 15 near the finish line of the 117th Boston Marathon. The two explosions killed three people and wounded more than 170 others. Runners react near Kenmore Square after two successive explosions at the marathon. Rescue workers tend to the wounded on the scene. First responders tried to save lives and limbs before transporting victims to hospitals. People gather Tuesday, April 16, at Garvey Park in Boston for a vigil for 8-year-old Martin Richard, killed by one of the bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager from Medford, Massachusetts, and Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old Chinese national attending graduate school at Boston University, also were killed in the bombings. A young runner, left, collects his thoughts on Tuesday, April 16, in a church blocks away from the scene of the bombing attack at the Boston Marathon. The city was quiet the day after the tragedy. On Wednesday, April 17, a federal law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN that a lid to a pressure cooker thought to have been used in the bombings had been found on a roof of a building near the scene. It was one of several pieces of evidence authorities found. The device also had fragments including nails, BBs and ball bearings, the FBI said. On Thursday, April 18, the FBI released photos and video of two suspects in the bombings and asked for public help identifying them. The FBI later identified the suspects as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, left, and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev. FBI Suspect No. 2, later said to be Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is apparently seen in this picture, far left in white cap, from Boston Marathon runner David Green at the scene of the bombings on Monday, April 15. The man identified as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appears in a tighter crop of David Green's photo. Green submitted the photo to the FBI, he told CNN's Piers Morgan in an interview. Late on the night of Thursday, April 18, police responded to a call that a campus officer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was shot and killed. Police say a man later reported being carjacked by the brothers. The two are stopped in Watertown, where police said they threw explosives and shot at the officers. One man, assumed to be Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, drives off and the other, later identified as Tamerlan Tsarnaev, is injured and later dies at the hospital. Shown is the scene early Friday in Watertown, Massachusetts, after the gunbattle between police and the suspects. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis speaks to the media in Watertown on April 19 and explains that the city is on lockdown until the surviving suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is found. The manhunt begins. Officers scoured Watertown, where Dhokhar Tsarnaev was last seen. A Massachusetts State Trooper checks a building along Mount Auburn Street in Watertown. Frightened residents were questioned near the home of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, on Norfolk Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. SWAT teams conducted door-to-door searches in Watertown while looking for the suspect. Ruslan Tsarni, uncle of the Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, urges the brothers to turn themselves in. In an interview Friday, April 19, outside his home in Montgomery Village, Maryland, he calls the bombers "losers." SWAT teams continue to search for the man identified by the FBI as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Friday, April 19, in Watertown, Massachusetts. The lockdown for the Boston area is lifted at 6 p.m., meaning people can again leave their homes, even though a suspect remains at large. On the evening of April 19, a Watertown resident reports seeing a man on a boat in his backyard and calls the police. Residents ran from the area where police say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was hiding on Franklin Street in Watertown, Massachusetts, on April 19. Helicopters with infrared devices detect a man under the boat tarp. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's frame is seen in this thermal image released by Massachusetts State Police. Police throw "flash-bangs" devices -- meant to stun people with a loud noise -- at the boat and start negotiations with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He eventually surrenders and is transported to a local hospital in "serious condition." People wave U.S. flags as police drive down the street in Watertown on Friday around 9 p.m. after it was announced that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been captured.

The week in Boston in photos

Among those injured in the Boston Marathon bombings were two brothers.

Paul and JP Norden have shared much in life. Now they are together in recovery: Each brother lost a right leg in the attack.

As hard as the limb loss was for the brothers, equally difficult was not seeing other each for weeks as they underwent 12 surgeries in all.

The siblings finally saw each other about two weeks ago for the first time since the marathon. They want the public to know their uncommon brotherhood is lifting them through an arduous recuperation.

London slaying

Photos: Attack in Southeast London

The British soldier was well-liked by many. He was even a military recruiter and played the drum outside the Royal Palaces on behalf of his regiment, the Fusiliers.

But the life of Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, came to a grisly end on a London street at the hands of a man with a meat cleaver and knife.

What has shocked the world is how the alleged attacker -- Michael Adebolajo, 28, a British national of Nigerian descent -- made a video of the gory scene and spoke to the camera about the killing, saying it was "an eye for an eye" and "because Muslims are dying daily."

A total of five men have been arrested in the slaying. Now far-right activists are calling upon Muslims to leave the country.

Capital calamities

Gregory Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, arrives for a House committee hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, May 8. State Department employees testified about the terror attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012. U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed. View photos of the attack. From left, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Counterterrorism Mark Thompson; Hicks; and Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer and former regional security officer in Libya, are sworn in before the hearing. The three are testifying at the hearing investigating into whether the State Department misled the public about the assault. Nordstrom testifies on May 8. He said in written testimony it was "inexplicable" that a followup internal State Department review ignored "the role senior department leadership played before, during, and after" the attack. Dorothy Narvaez-Woods, center, listens as Hicks testifies. She is the widow of Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was killed in the attack. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the committee, left, speaks as Chairman Darrell Issa, R-California, listens. Committee Democrats accused Republicans of engaging in a "smear" campaign. Nordstrom listens to Hicks testify. Hicks has been praised by Republicans as a "whistleblower." He has expressed concern that more could have been done by the military to protect those being attacked last year at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Thompson testifies on May 8. He is the State Department's acting deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism. Ray Smith, left, and Pat Smith listen as Thompson testifies. Their son Sean was one of the four Americans killed in the terror attack.
