Oklahoma Weather

Well, someone pushed the "summer" button and we instantly went to hot weather!  The forecasts call for highs in the mid-90's and lows in the mid-70's for the foreseeable future.  Oh, well, spring never lasts long enough.

The only good thing about moving from spring to summer is that we also get rid of tornado season.  This year has been a particularly bad one for Oklahoma and especially the Oklahoma City area.  The death toll from their two major outbreaks now stands at 47 people.  The real tragedy is the loss of the children in the school that took a direct hit.

I suppose that if we lived on the east coast, we might not look forward to summer.  They have to face the start of hurricane season.  By the way, while I was writing this, I heard a guy calling "CQ" on the radio and I answered him.  CQ is what you call when you want anyone to answer you.  He was located in Delaware and the first thing he mentioned was our tornadoes.  He told me that yesterday, they had a tornado watch in Newark, Delaware.  Go figure!

Will Rogers, our famous Oklahoma sage, once said that if you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, just wait a few minutes.  I have a feeling that he was talking about spring and fall, not summer.  I think we are in for a long stretch of hot weather.
