That's why I'm like the rest of the snakes, lizards, and other desert critters and only come out at night this time of year. Temps that high are unusual for that area. It runs in cycles. We'll have a couple of years similiar to this then it usually cools for a few years. It was hot last summer also...... but the problem I see is the lack of rain. it's about like it was in the 1930's during the dust bowl days.... We're on level 2 water rationing now which only lets us outside water for two hours a week and only on one day and even then not in the day time.

Lot of bad things happened, but still have some friends there. Too hot there for me, although not much better in some other places. I deal better with cold winters than hot summers.

It was so hot that it cooked an egg on the road. LOL It is hot here near the Gulf... its feels like about 103*. ...tonight . Wonder why it gets so hot in the mid states ? In the middle of the continent, there are no ocean winds to cool things off. So you get more extreme temperatures in both summer and winter. Of course, Gulf Coast areas have higher humidity, but the actual temperatures are usually more moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in Washington state, we have gotten a bit of rain, but not much. Do you think God is giving us a wake up call? From my own personal experience lately, if I am doing something God doesn't want me to do he disciplines me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this morning ...there are terrible fires in Oklahoma... houses are burning. That is sooo sad. Wished I could have a long enough garden hose to reach there ...to give them water. I am not joking either. These people need to leave there towns or state...till everything gets better. I wouldn't mind taking in 2-3 people for refuge here where I live.

It's definitely different than most places, climate-wise. Most of the US is in a drought. I saw some long-range projections of a drought that could last through 2020. I don't have climate data in front of me, but it definitely FEELS hotter now than summers did 20 years ago. That could be me getting older or my body changing from the years I lived up north (moved back to the south last year... ugh), but I used to actually DO things outside in the summer. I do believe there is some truth to the global warming idea. I wouldn't say it is God giving a warning call, probably just natural climate cycles. But the sun shines on the just as well as the unjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
