My niece is coming up here because Tulsa is too hot We have been 96-103 with 75% humidity She asked if I had spare sweatshirts she can borrow to keep the chills away :lol: But we were lucky twice in the same day -We had a super soaker yesterday after noon and another one last night and the temp is now 72 at 5:30 a.m. its only going to mid 90s today & sun. then only the mid 80s for the next 12 days forecast Thank goodness I'm starting to slosh when I walk and I still feel dehydrated

Just had a friend tell me she puts gallon jugs of water in the freezer. When she goes shopping when its so hot, she puts them in an open cooler in the back seat of her car. has a small clip on battery operated fan that she clips to the cooler, turns it on when she goes into a store to shop and says the car stays so much cooler. If the heat lasts much longer here, I am tempted to try it.

If your in the oven it doesn't matter if you're being baked or steamed! Hot is hot. :)

We got a/c three years ago. Before that, we would sit in our basement at night and someimes even sleep there. Wish I would have known your fan trick then. Wonder how we can adapt that for a car -my folks do not have air in theirs.
