Just like the snow people.

[I]"Two feet that is a dusting here!" [/I]

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

I'm not complaining, just stating the obvious, it's f'ing hot

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity."

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

It's the f'ing heat.

Generally, I am okay with the the 95+ heat on days one & two. By day three, everything just radiates heat. Particularly in the city where all the concrete, brick and asphalt are saturated and even the shade is hot.

No. It's not surprising. It's just f'ing hot.

Me either, I keep wishing it would go away permanently and yet it keeps coming back like an unwanted child.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

well, if you go and live by a coastline it'll be a lot nicer weather wise... still, after trips through the sandbox, anything under 120 isn't so bad.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

I believe it was on tuesday that we lost the power at our house. My dad lives next door, he had no power either but fortunatley he had a generator, and a cool basement. The power went off around 5:00 and didn't come back on until quarter after nine.

We have SVEC, their website said at one point as many as 17,000 people were without power. I was hoping i wouldn't have to work the next day if the plant had no power, but alas, it never happened.

Brutal here today in Austin, TX. Currently 102 and tomorrow is 106.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

We're supposed to have four 90 degree days here within the next 7 days.
We have already shattered some records when we hit 90 in March.
I think the earths orbit has shifted or sumpthin.

Shattered a record yesterday in Austin - 109 that is fricking HOT!

It's not as bad as WT, we have quite a big metro area more to do but it's hot!

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

It was mid 70's yesterday. Supposed to be mid 80's today. However, Thursday through Sunday is supposed to reach blistering heat of 98-100 degrees.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

My BIL moved from MD to work at Texas Tech; says it is awesome there. I think he is just kidding himself to try to get thur it.

Texas is brutal in the summer, no question. However in the fall and winter it beats most of the US in regards to weather. Love it here, not because of the weather but great college town and live music capital of the world!

FYI - no I do not work for the tourism department

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

I was in Austin at the end of March. The weather was awesome. We were told that it was going to change very soon. :)

Another 100+ day on tap. This time without power thanks to last night's storm. Oh joy.

We had a tornado or damned-near a tornado hit Winchester, VA on Friday night. We had winds that were straight on at 100 miles an hour. Lost power on Friday night, but it came back up later in the night. Yesterday, the electric company said that 14,000 people were still without power, countless others without Comcast TV/Internet. Comcast gave no timeline of when service would be restored.

Fox News also reported that at least 14 people were confirmed dead from the storms and they were searcing for others in damaged apartments/townhouses, etc... Very bad and we are hearing rumors that this is the second most destructive storm Winchester has ever gotten, with most of the town sustatining damage of some kind..downed power poles, stop lights, etc...

I live next door to my dad and between the both of us, we had 3 trees come down. Spent all day yesterday sawing wood and then half of the evening burning the huge brush pile that had accumulated from the cleanup. We were lucky that our homes and vehicles did not sustain damage, only the trees and some fencing that was torn down..

More high temperatures this week and another threat of serious storms maybe mid-week.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

I cleaned all the trim (sprayed down with clorox and rinsed off) on my 4500 sq ft office building and it was hot. It was so bad I had to drink Vodka and tonics for the rest of the evening. My wife thought I was drinking water until I started acting a little funny.

I'm surprised at how few claims I have had the past few days but so far I'm not seeing a hugh swing in claims. I did have some up in N Va. and a few around here but only one big claim so far.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

just got power back last night. 87 degrees in my house yesterday.

Re: Stifling States of America: Heat Wave!
 

Still waiting for power here. One of the few times I'm super thankful to go to work in the AC. Have to say, I've been reading the Dominion power Facebook page and have never seen a bigger bunch of whining in my life. People act like all these workers are doing is sitting on their asses. The state is in a state of emergency, those people need to lay off Dominion, BARC, Appalachain. Jeez.

It's hot and it totally blows, but there's nothing that can be done right now...
