    Hottest heatwave in my area since 1985 and our power went out for 24 hours. Still waiting to hear if there has been any deaths from the heat.

      Thought much the same! I’m in NW Florida, and high up, as far as Florida goes high.

      Storm the other day turned black, like 8:30 at night black, solar lights came on.

      Grew up in Oklahoma, seen some thunder boomers and twisty clouds, no worries. But that one got me thinking, “A tornado could simply shred this house and I lose it all.” And my wife was driving in it with a whopping 2-years driving experience. My heart was jumping for 10-minutes. Wife is from the Philippines, no stranger to wild weather. She was scared shitless.

      Been here 18-years or so. Never been this hot so soon, and so consistently. Only fun activities involve being on top or under water.
