It was so hot...

Send an email to Nita and tell everyone how hot you've seen it at your place

It gets so hot, we leave the lights off to keep the rooms a bit cooler. And of course, the windows are covered to keep the direct sunlight out.

I run a water sprinkler during the hottest part of the day so the wild birds can come cool down. Even the hummingbirds and butterflies will play in the spray. For the chickens, I let the water run slow and they have a chicken lake for cooling their feet.

The hottest we've ever seen it (not an official reading) was on the thermometer was 116° in front of the Hawley Grocery Store, Hawley, Texas. That was in 2002.
