The Return of the Weather Quiz

Hi All! Sorry for the delay in posting.....I got blog apathy, but just got over it today! Here are the answers and winners to last MONTH'S quiz....each question was worth one point:

Highest Temperature- 136 degrees, Libya, 1922
*Winner-Mark & Pam, 138 degrees

Lowest Temperature- 128 below zero, Antarctica, 7/21/83
*Winner-Laura, 120 below zero

Highest Wind Speed- approx 318MPH (+/- 18MPH), Bridge Creek, OK, 5/3/99
*Winner-Mark & Pam, 350MPH

Most Rain One Minute- 1.5", Guadeloupe, Carribean Sea, 1970
*Winner- Mark & Pam, 2"

Most Rain One Day- 74", Reunion Island, Indian Ocean
*Winner- Liz, 72"

Most Rain One Year- 1,042", India, Aug. 1860-1861

And a couple of other cool unrelated facts to ponder:

Biggest One Day Temperature Change- 100 degrees
44 degrees to 56 below zero, Browning, MT, 1/23/1916

Fastest Temperature Change- 4 below zero to 45 above zero in 2 minutes
Spearfish, SD, 1/22/1943

Standings before the last week!

Mark&Pam......5
Liz..................4
Derek............3.5
Brooke...........2
Jessica...........2
John...............2
Laura.............1
Jim.................1
Crystal..........0.5

By the way, Jim gets a point for letting me use some really cool power equipment last Saturday to blow up our tree wells in the backyard to plant grass seed.

Here is the LAST QUESTION!!!

Now you can be as wrong as I usually am! Tell me what the high temperature is going to be on October 10th in OKC at Will Rogers Airport. You're answer has to be in before September 27th. If you are closest you win. That's it. The winner gets a blog written about them. Previous points mean NOTHING! Happy guessing!
