Yes. Not as bad as the midwest, but the danger is not trivial, either. I think the plains of North Texas are more prone to them than other parts, but they are certainly not unheard of here in Central Texas.

One summer when I worked over there, there was a lot of talk about
the Ring of Fire. As I understood it, it was a huge area where a high pressure became stable, and caused the temperatures up to over 40
degrees for weeks.
Was that just a one time thing, or is it reoccurring?
When I was younger, we used to visit some of the local caves with s and youth groups. One thing that fascinated me was that one of the caves
we visited in Southern Indiana was considered to be a part of the Mammoth
Cave chain. It was fascinating to me considering that a rather lar river, the Ohio, runs between them. :)
Same here. The Mammoth Cave system was the inspiration for "Colossal Cav Adventure," the first interactive fiction computer game (1976). Develope a PDP-10, the author used maps and recollections of his own Mammoth Cave explorations to populate it, and the original version had no sorcery or dragons or the like. It was an attempt to let people experience Mammoth without having to actually go into it.
That is pretty awesome! That would be neat to port as a door game. I assume it was text based?
