A former member of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs has come out to say she's now a woman.

Kristin Beck, who used to be Chris, did her twenty years in the Navy, and fought on some of the most dangerous battlefields in the world.  After she left the service she realized she wasn't living the life she wanted.

Beck suppressed her secret for decades, going through the rigors of  SEAL training and the heroic missions that followed.

Brandon Webb, a former SEAL who served on a different SEAL team than Beck, said that Beck's reputation in the SEALs was a good one and said she was, by all appearances, the "consummate guy's guy."

Kristin Beck wrote her story of going from a Navy SEAL to a woman in the book "Warrior Princess."

This Weather Map from the National Hurricane Center shows the area of concern highlighted in Orange.  It means there is a 30-50% chance a "Named Hurricane" will form in that area in the next 48 hours.

It is slowly drifting northward and could threaten the Florida Keys or Florida if it continues to strengthen.

OKLAHOMA CITY UNDER THE GUN AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON!

The Weather Channel says there is a four in ten chance Oklahoma City will see more tornados this afternoon.  I will keep an eye on it for you.....

Rumors flew fast and furious Monday saying a woman's body found in Lake Macatawa was Jessica Herringa.   The storys were probably fueled by an reported post by an anonomous person on the "Find Jessica Herringa" Facebook page.  

The posting was removed later in the day.

In fact officials now think there is a better than good chance that the body a jet skier found is 55 year old Barbara Westveer.  She was an emotionally distaught woman who disapeared last week.  

An autopsy is planned later today and it should provide definitive results....
