The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: Prosecutors wanted Tonya Couch's bond set at $1 million. On Monday, a judge disagreed and dropped it to $75,000. State District Judge Wayne Salvant says that Couch’s original bond was too high for the charge she faces.

Salvant ordered Tonya Couch to wear a GPS monitor if she posts bond. She's charged with hindering the apprehension of a felon.

Meteorologists say basements are one of the best places to take shelter during a tornado, but few North Texas homes have basements. In the wake of a dozen tornadoes that hit the Dallas area, why aren't there more?

North Texas musicians and industry leaders reflect on David Bowie’s music as the soundtrack to their lives.
