I did hear the driver of the tanker was ok, it blew him off the road into some trees. Still can't believe he did not see it coming!

Again, this tornadic storm was about 2 hours in duration with multiple tornadoes believed to be dropped on the ground from 10:20 PM local until 12:30 AM almost non-stop.

I lived in Bentonville, AR for a couple years several years ago. A few of my coworkers had mentioned numerous times that their science teacher told them tornadoes don’t hit the area because of the geography and surrounding landscape. Seems to have been possibly EF3 damage in Decatur. I was watching the coverage and rotation definitely looked strong.

Put on a hard hat if you have to be out and around that.

We have had 100 tornadoes so far in 2024. The average to this point is 52. Dam it.

I prefer it over winter and cold. Pick your poison.

Yeah, I don’t know. During Winter, we’ll get the occasional nice days that you can enjoy the outdoors with. In the Summer, it’s HOT basically every day, with no breaks. At least that’s usually the case here. There’s just not much I enjoy about this time if year, aside from going to the local dirt track.

It's in the 60s most days during the winter here. Anyone who lives in a region like this who wants 100 over 65 is a psychopath.

I’m right there with ya. It’s 10:30 am and we’re currently sitting at 91 degrees.

It's been brutal here. And it's only June.
We MIGHT get some rain today and later this week, but the chances are isolated.

I’m trying not to think about what month it is. Our high today is forecast to be 101. And July and August are typically Warmer than June.

Believe was 100 here today but little breezy. Didn't seem that hot. Did have to take a semi-cold shower after being outside awhile.

Wednesday starts a 9 day stretch where we don’t have a forecasted high temperature over 95 degrees! I’ll take that.

I'd kill for that. We haven't see a LOW beginning with '6' in a few weeks. I've called off my morning walk a few times in the last week when it was 80F at 5am.High of 63 today

Believe local weather person said high 96 with indices of 155. Or maybe 105? Feels about the same.
Gonna be around 109 today. I don't mind it.

It’s brutal.
I stepped inside, A/C set to 78, and it felt like a refrigerator compared to this heat wave.

To clarify...I thought Friday was Thursday. Which would make today Friday. Then the next day Saturday. Is EVERYONE confused now? Holiday's screw me up even tho everyday is a holiday for us retired folks.
Storm front blowing thru last hour or so has given the AC a few breaks.

Must be nice. See if you can convince it to get east of I-95, please. On the radar, it seems to be scared of the coast.
Vegas hit 118 today. What are the odds of that?

Smithsonian magazine has a great article on how Vegas is cutting water usage. Paying people to take up existing sod, banning it from new construction, cracking down on people who water the driveway and street, using 'gray water' in pools and waste water on golf courses, etc.
I do recall from my high school days there that it didn't usually start breaking 115 until mid-August. "But it's a dry heat!'
