Clarke, glad you had a minimum amount of damage and distress.
If you don't mind the questions, what brand were the tires, how old were they and what pressure were you running. The speed you were running certainly wasn't a contributing factor and although it is warm (90's), it wasn't hot enough for that to have been a significant factor either. I have seen tires fail for seemingly no good reason at all but I like to keep track of brands, etc to serve as a basis for future tire purchase decisions.
FYI, I am currently running Bridgestones on the rear and Michelins on the front. My pressures are 120 front, 110 drive, 100 tag.
PS: Congratulations to your daughter on her graduation.
