Another blast of heat to hit U.S.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A massive heat wave is expected to develop over much of the central and eastern United States beginning on Friday with heat index values that could reach 115 degrees.

The big story for the coming weekend will be the building heat," said Jim Keeney, a National Weather Service meteorologist. "It looks like it's going to be a long-term heat wave."

In the thick of the heat wave is Oklahoma where Governor Mary Fallin asked Oklahomans to pray for rain this Sunday.

"The power of prayer is a wonderful thing, and I would ask every Oklahoman to look to a greater power this weekend and ask for rain," Fallin said in a news release on Thursday.

Earlier this year Texas Governor Rick Perry asked Texans to pray for rain because of the drought there.

As of July 12, about 72 percent of Texas and 43 percent of Oklahoma are experiencing the worst possible drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Yeah, cuz we all know how well prayer helps in these situations - as Perry found out in Texas. Several months ago he asked his state to pray for rain and now they "are experiencing the worst possible drought conditions.
Or maybe god is just mad at Texas?
