Hope you get some cooler temps soon.

Is Oklahoma in the Mid-West or is it already the South?
Originally Posted By Disneymom443 We are right above Texas, Mid-West that would be correct. Some people call us the heartland. This morring (5:30) we were already at 87. DlandDug, I think I remember you saying that your were from Bthany a while ago. We must have traded places. You are now in Ca. right? I was in Paso Robles then moved to Bethany. I would take the weather in Paso right now over what we have. On the good side today is supposed to be the last day in the 100's. I keep my fingers crossed.

Originally Posted By Labuda We're FINALLY getting a break fromt he 100+ days here. We had 80 of them so far, but today it's "only" supposed to get up to 92. Oh, and there's fires everywhere... at least the wind has died down this morning.
