“This looks like this is it,” said Ted Ryan, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. “The end of summer is coming up.”

Just get the shirts they sell here during Masters - “Don’t hassle Me, I’m a Local.”
I hope all your liberal Califoria neighbors didn't follow you.
Welcome.
There has been a very large dome of high pressure sitting over the central USA all summer long. If this breaks down enough to give the Dallas area relief it may also break down enough to allow tropical systems to enter the Gulf of Mexico in September. Not a great thing unless they are just rainmakers. Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ike come to mind, both being September storms.
That's what vacations are for anyway.
>>>Carl’s Jr is okay but not even close to In-N-Out IMO. We came through Dallas last week and stopped in for a Double-Double. :0)>>>
Well, the good news, you’ll probably have IN N OUT within a year. They are going for it big time here in Texas from what I hear. Their 500 mile max radius range (from their Ft. Worth meat processing plant) easily includes Houston. They don’t truck their meat more than 500 miles because they refuse to freeze it....so Houston is good to go.
These southeast Texas storms got less attention than Irene.
after a month of nearly 110 days, high nineties makes me want to wear a coat!
In-N-Out is the best chain burger joint I have seen. Order (not on the menu) the 3x3, or 4x4 with xtra spread. Nothing better. Also ask for your next burger “animal style”. Fries too!

Yeah, one would have thought it was the 2nd coming this weekend on TV and the media. Turns out it was a tropical storm with some flooding. The Governor of Vermont went on PBS and said.”We don’t get weather like this”....he didn’t check to see they have gotten real hurricanes before.
And Cuomo of New York said it brought out the Best of New York during it’s darkest hour. huh? Darkest hour? Best of New York? They all raided Wal Marts and CostCos and it was a storm.....
The LEFT, party of the drama kings and queens.......
You mean there was something going on in the rest of the entire world other than Irene?
It’s funny how people look for the bad in places they visit and brag about the great things from where they are from. I went to Southern California and it looked dull to me, and I did not see anyone snow skiing, fishing for trout, or any of the things you described. I saw the same malls, movies, eating in the same type of places, etc. It gets very hot there too, with lots of smog and it is really just a desert. I am from the east (not Texas), so going from very green to LA looks bland to me. Anyway, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Some of the loyalists here in the Dallas Metro Plex actually try and compare Whattaburger to IN N OUT. Look, I have to tolerate your God awful heat and weather but I don’t have to tolerate your foolishness ok bud?
Good cattle are going to auction and selling for about 1/3 of what they should bring because no one can afford to feed them.
I am going to move what hay I have out of sight of the road to keep people from stopping and trying to buy it.
To late for the growin season.
I’m in suburban Waco and we’ve been a bit overcast all day and had a brief (I stress brief) shower around noon. The temps have held down since then, don’t know why. Hope it happens for you too and I hope we all get some rain before we go up in flames.
Although...I know some big outfits that are hurting.
>>>Well this conservative Native Californian hopes I never have to go back to Dallas during the summer, and sure would’nt move there. In fact my company wanted to relocate me and I tried it for the summer. I would live in a trailer in So cal before anywhere in TX. Respectfully...>>>
Well, all kidding aside, yes this was a brutal summer, I’ll admit. But that notwithstanding, we live in North Dallas Metro, and during fall, spring, and winter, it’s beautiful. Green, clean, and the people are very nice and patriotic. I’ll take it over California, which is really now Northern Mexico. And I grew up in Southern CA, lived there for 51 years including 20 in Orange County.
Different strokes for different folks and yes, people are moving here like there’ no tomorrow. Construction is booming, the highways, freeway exchanges, etc. are going up all over and it’s exciting to see.
Today is our (Wichita Falls) 91st day of the year with temps over 100, with no end in sight. I don’t think we’ll EVER get below 100 again.

OMGoodness. My sympathies. Did you hear about the couple in California last week. They were from Europe and their car broke down in Death Valley? Both died in the desert. Can’t mess around with this heat.
Here’s the story:
