Some storming at the beginning and the top of a tree in my neighbor's yard broke off and knocked out the power for a couple of days which is kind of miserable when you have an all electric home like mine. Guess, I shouldn't complain. Rain moderated the usual heat that one expects in July in Arkansas, but that was only a brief respite. Hitting high 90s and a hundred this week. I've seen a couple of models of where the worst of the heat is supposed to hit and it looks like Hot Springs just on the edge of the really bad stuff so maybe we'll be spared a little bit, but probably not.  |
Nice win Cal, evern a dollar to the good is a win. Good job to Digger too.
We had a one day break here from the swelter in the DFW area yesterday, highs in the low 90's and a "pleasant" breeze. The ocassional front comes though with some rain for about half a day then leaves as quickly as it came. Rest of our week heats up again 105 106 etc, etc, etc. October can't get here fast enough. All that said no records have been broken, with most of them set in the summer long 1980 furnace. It was so dry our nasty gumbo clay soil opened up cracks you could lose a small dog in, they were everywhere. That summer was just wicked.
The terrible weather, fires and floods are worldwide. Mother Nature is telling us she doesn't like what we've been doing to her. I'm not sure it will get any milder and not sure the general population will ever learn.
