Rain in July!

We always welcome rain in July.  I think it is a key element in keeping a heat dome at bay.  If it is dry enough we get these heat domes and nothing happens here in central Oklahoma except extreme heat.  That heat sometimes leads to grass fires and with our wind, they are very destructive, not one of our more enduring characteristics.  We also have as many earthquakes as California!  So, just because we have the heat doesn't mean we don't have cold weather.  We have ice storms almost as bad as Arkansas.  They may have us beat on this wonderful weather treat.

Just one of many we have had over the years.  We had a bad one just last spring, '13.  It was after the leaves had come out on our maple tree and we actually lost a window.

Not all is bad here though!  There are PLENTY of beautiful days here.

So, before I say too much negative about our wonderful place, know it is wonderful!
