hey, quick question about august in your neck of the woods...
My friends Little brother enlisted in the army, starting Boot camp on Tuesday.
I had considered driving my friend to the graduation, which should be early august. (9 weeks)
he's at Ft.Sill (Lawton,OK)
reasons i would want to go?
1) I miss the Drive, until last summer my brother lived in DFW, and we would always drive down in early october to visit,he moved back home..
2)because of those trips, I know the way to get 95% of the way to Ft. Sill, including the good places to stay...
3) My car Has working...everything. his, no where near close, esp on the A/C front...
so yeah, just how brutal,typically, should we be expecting?
Never been that deep into Oklahoma, Lawton looks to be north of Wichita Falls TX. You are a good 6 hours north of where I live.
I have no problem with heat and was born in Buffalo, lived there for 30 years.
I would expect 90's, might touch 100's in certain areas, but not much more than that.
Pack lots of sun screen, and drink a ton of water.
Its not too bad everything is air conditioned. Test your car's battery before the trip and you should be fine. Cars eat batteries down here like crazy, its like nothing I seen coming from NY.
Climate is going to be different, sometimes we get sea breeze from the gulf, sometimes not. Expect everything to be brown by august.
You are so correct as I was stationed briefly at NSI Ingleside base and it got high 90's regularly. Water, eating right and working out and staying hydrated are your friends.
Wish I was still in Corpus Christi TX.
