Summer of 1980 in Texas still holds the record for longest streak of 100+ days of heat. It started first week of June and lasted through August. Lakes and pond went dry.
Didn’t really matter to a teenager growing during a time of great music and lots of beautiful girls!!
I remember when the 1950-57 Texas Drought broke. We went to visit the ranch where Mom grew up in central west Texas and water was running everywhere, it was awesome.
There was also the Dust Bowl about 20 years before that which was north of the ranch. Extended family relocated to the ranch from the northern area until it ended.
