Wow, thats impressive. Must be quite a shocker for them since they've been used to 60's and 70's.

It is really warm here in Norman today...and by warm I mean HOT AS HELL (as far as this Connecticutter is concerned). It's currently 91 here on campus at the Univ of Oklahoma (~20 miles S of OKC) with an RH of only 14%. Needless to say there are several large wildfires breaking out across the state.

Wow, this reminds me a lot of Feb. 1996 a lot - it hit 95* at DFW. Then in 1996, take a look at these records set at DFW in July 1996:

7/4 105 / 1996
7/5 103 / 1996
7/6 105 / 1996
7/7 106 / 1996

Wonder if 2006 will turn out to be as hot.
