Saturday night ended a strange weather year for the United States. The same held true for Oklahoma. Oklahoma City saw its first 100 degree day in May, a month that is usually cool and rainy in the Sooner State. 2005 saw a continuation of the drought that began in earnest in 2003 and ‘05 was one of the driest years since Dust Bowl days.

The first day of 2006 found many grass fires burning out of control and spreading rapidly in winds gusting to 35 mph. With the advent of the new year Okies are praying for rain but the skies are clear.
