I spent an entire summer in Tulsa many years ago. I remember seeing a bank sign with time at 12:00 (midnight), temperature 101. Sheewww! But I must say if hell looks beautiful, then it would have to be because it's located there in Tulsa. :lol: The very best Perseid meteor shower I've ever viewed was there at your reservoir.

Seems like the mid 80's were very warm here. And the winter's were very cold. Seems like one extreme follows another. I laughed at the panic over the 116 in Vegas last weekend. I have pictures of the downtown LV bank sign after midnight with 113 degrees over 10 years ago! It is sometimes so hot and the air so thin that flights are canceled. Imagine that. It's hot, in the desert, in the summer! But it's a dry heat. So is a pizza oven.

AEP-PSO feels revenue loss
A rainy June and a cooler-than-expected summer saved Tulsa AEP-PSO customers an average of $22.61 from June 2006 on their electricity bills.
Based on June 2005 power usage, the company is short about $4.18 million in expected revenues.

Peru cold snap kills 70 children
Wednesday, 25 July 2007
BBC News
The children, all under five years old, died of pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses over the past three months.
Many adults have also died during the harsh winter, and thousands of people are suffering from pneumonia and other respiratory infections.

Peruvian Health Minister Carlos Vallejos said almost 2,000 medics had been deployed in the affected areas. He told the BBC he expected the situation to get worse before it improves.
The National Civil Defence Institute (Indeci) has launched a campaign to provide clothing and shelter to the worst affected areas.

Even low-lying jungle regions are facing unusually cold weather, with temperatures dropping to 10C (50F).

Tulsa showed Tiger Woods the heat near 105.
Tonight, just a few weeks later, we will be 50 degrees cooler!

Meanwhile, Chicago is facing record lows:

Tonight Clearing this evening. Unseasonably cool with near record breaking temperatures likely. Lows in the upper 30s...except in the mid 40s downtown. Northwest winds 10 to 20 mph diminishing to 5 to 10 mph.

Winter storm months ahead of schedule in Southern California...

Sitting down? A winter storm is on its way!
By Ari Bloomekatz, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
September 20, 2007

A storm moving into the Southland from British Columbia is bringing unseasonably cold temperatures, snow at high elevations and steady precipitation, a welcome sight for many on the heels of a 2006-07 weather year that was the driest on record in Los Angeles.
"The storm is pretty unusual. It's pretty much our first winter storm of the season, and it's barely fall," said Oxnard-based meteorologist Edan Lindaman of the National Weather Service.

Buenos Aires records lowest temperature in 90 years!
11/16/07

Residents in Argentina and Brazil are wondering if this winter will ever end. Buenos Aires recorded this Thursday (November 15th) the lowest November temperature in 90 years. Temperature in the Downtown weather station reached 2.5C. Since records began more than a century ago, only two days had colder lows in November. It was in 1914 (1.6) and 1917 (2.4). And ninety years ago the urban heat island effect was much less pronounced than nowadays. In Brazil's southernmost province Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil temperatures fell to 2.3C. In Sao Joaquim Monday's (Nov., 12) the temperature was -1.2 C with frost.
