That is one of the reasons I moved from Texas after spending 20 years there. We sill have the heat here - but never to that extent !! We also get rain in the summer - great thunderstorms ! I remember a year when it was 0ver 100 degrees for more than 6 weeks straight in the Dallas area - URGH !! I think the older I get the more intolerant of heat I become ! Miss the people tho. . .
