In Texas it is so hot you have to wear extra clothes to provide insulation from the sun. The asphault roads boil. The roads are all dirt and deeply rutted by wooden wagon wheels. Every house is equipped with and outhouse. To find water on the lakes you have first go through 1 foot of crude oil that has polluted the top. The Mexicans raid the towns on a weekly basis and steal babies. And the wind blows 60 mph on calm days.
