……Free Sauna<\/strong> – just step outside…… The heat index<\/em> in OKC<\/strong> yesterday was 111 degrees<\/strong> – Actual temp was 96 degrees<\/strong>…. The seven day forecast<\/em> is for more of the same – high 90’s to triple digits (shade temp<\/em>) – 105 to 115 degrees (Heat Index<\/em>)…… This is due to all the excessive rain we had a couple of weeks ago…… Actually, it’s been over six (6) months<\/strong> of record breaking\/record tying weather events here in the Great (?) Plains<\/em>…..<\/p>\n

First, we have the worst blizzard<\/strong> on record (14.1″ snow) Christmas Eve<\/strong>, then a record tying Ice Storm<\/em> in January<\/em> along with record low temps going into February<\/em>, then, snap your fingers, and we are 10 to 20 degrees above normal temps in March and April<\/em> with no precipitation – Instant change from Winter to Summer<\/strong>…… In May<\/em> we have two (2) large tornado breakouts<\/strong>, both along the same track – What the first one missed, the second one finished off….. In June<\/em>, we had the worst hail storm<\/strong> I have ever seen….. Image baseball-sized hail stones hitting everything in sight Horizontally<\/em>!!! The winds were in the 60-80 mph range….. Other than this Hail event we were dry as popcorn, UNTIL<\/strong>, Late June, in which we had our entire Spring in one day – Eleven (11) inches<\/strong> of rain in less than Five (5) hours<\/em> – Record breaking and flooding where it has never flooded before….. No, it didn’t stop there, over the next two weeks we had two (2) more flooding events<\/em>…… We’re like 10-15 inches<\/strong> above normal<\/em> on rainfall now, AND THEN<\/strong>, two days ago, the Sun came out with a vengeance, and it’s instant Steam Bath<\/em> time with all the moisture in the ground….. I predict the sky will fall this Fall (if we have a Fall)….. Chicken Little was right……<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, we’re not having any Global Climate<\/strong> changes, N-a-a-a-a<\/strong>, that’s just something those Green Peace<\/strong> nuts thought up….. Maybe people should wake up and smell the STEAM<\/strong> – It’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature…..<\/em> Tell that to your Congressman……<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
