Yes, this is the case for most there unfortunately, it was never needed and whenever they get a heatwave all the stores sell out of portable units. However, it's never come close to being this hot so it was something you could always tolerate to some degree. The bay area is also facing this same crisis.

I do indeed. But then I just sat around worrying about those who didn't. Well, I took care of those I could. Offered a few the option to come hang out. People got through it. My mom did NOT have the good sense to stay home and went to a funeral, but thankfully that turned out just fine.
Today we're supposed to hit 93. That sounds warm. But it didn't really hit me till this morning. That's 22 degrees cooler than yesterday. I had to do that math on that one a second time since it sounded so outrageous at first. But yeah, 22 degrees cooler!!!

I'm still trying to get over having complained just a few weeks ago how unfair it was to have 37ºF temps overnight here in mid-June. Now I'm trying not to complain over what I call a heatwave that tops out at 88ºF today... Still that's a 50-degree difference. I'll be not just happy but very grateful to see things settle back down to mid-70s again with mid-50s overnight.

Record breaking temperatures in Finland. Yesterday up north in Lapland it was 31 and June was the hottest June ever.

All of these records being broken is flat out scary, warming seems to be happening faster than anyone predicted.

If we hear about tornados in LA, or Jake Gyllenhaal being stuck in a NYC library, everybody prepare to kiss your ass goodbye.

Yikes, well, hopefully it'll fizzle out a little, move quickly, they could also bail and head over to Orlando for a couple of days if they were concerned

Yep. In British Columbia last week, days of 49.5 C. Yes, 49.5!! That is extremely scary and worrisome.

... meanwhile the relative calm of just forecasts of severe t'storms, all that stands between me and a really nasty afternoon is a bunch of high hills around us here in the western Catskills south of Oneonta. Eeek... and most of my net provider's servers are located up in various of the currently stormy areas. A tenuous sandwich filling of overcast skies is what we're in at the moment. Well they didn't say tornados or derechos so I'm carrying on as if I'll continue to have electrical power lol.

Temperatures have been quite mild here in the Bay Area and wildfires have been minimal. But I fear the worst is yet to come given what happened last August and September. And we are still in the midst of the worst drought in my lifetime, the frequency of which is probably only going to increase as time goes on.
Send some of that rain our way.
It's not likely there will be another drop until November at the earliest and even then it probably won't be much.

My daughter’s a hurricane vet. Never batted an eyelash. I’m just glad it was this week since they closed the Tampa airport and I fly in next Tuesday.Yikes, well, hopefully it'll fizzle out a little, move quickly, they could also bail and head over to Orlando for a couple of days if they were concerned

Just when I was thinking how cool it is that we slipped through this last round of weirdly extreme weather without even so much as a flicker of our electrical power, the lights unceremoniously just went out tonight for about an hour earlier tonight. Nothing was going on with the weather at the time, so it was rather startling.
Anyway so much for the idea of having some popcorn with a movie. No popcorn, and no movie!
Keeps it simple, I guess. Maybe better luck tomorrow. At least the power came back on soon enough not to have to worry about the state of refrigerated and frozen foods. I do need to get serious about getting a genny hooked up to both my propane supply and my electrical mains. Power outages in the summer are annoying but in winter they can be deadly around here.
