108 in STL metro yesterday, a record.

My MINI thermometer was 112-113 on my evening commute, driving in stop-n-go on I-70, surrounded by cars and heat-trapping concrete.

Supposed to cool off some on Sunday: 102. Oh, that's LOTS better.

 

Stay cool everyone!

It's supposed to be 95 here, but when I left for work it already felt like soup

 

Humidity is way up there today. I can only work outside for 30 minutes at a stretch. I feel for those folks to have to work outside all day in this kind of heat.

I'll bet Nathan, coming from Texas, thinks this is pleasant.

It has been hitting 100 degrees most days here in Dallas lately. There is a high of 95 forecast for Sunday, so I'm saving my MINI wrenching for then!

 

haha. it'll feel like a crisp spring day in comparison :lol:

 

Those of you in Ohio be ready, storms moving into your area now, golf ball size hail and thunderstorms

 

Just blew through here, really high winds, no hail, lots of intense rain. Now waning...

Outside temps dropped by darn close 30F.

 

Whew, we could use some of that......so could Colorado, the rain anyway.....

 

I fired up my car after work and the temp said 106 degrees. I hit the A/C switch real quick.

 

Glad you are OK. We had quite the blow up here too. A couple of trees down in the wetland. No damage.

Our power went off at 5. We still have cold beer. We are holding our own...

 

I heard it was 82mph gusts up in Dublin... yikes.

 

I'm glad y'all are OK!
Violent weather is scary.

 

109 here in Columbia, SC TODAY. Glad everyone is ok!

 

110 on the DC beltway going home about 5:30

 

Thanks for sending that storm over here to us MM. We just got rain, lightning and thunder, but places all around us got plastered. I'm heading to the other barn (across the line in VA), where they have trees and power lines down, to see if I can help. The weather has been really brutal lately.

Well ....we have been without power since 5PM yesterday. Just finished cleaning up all the debris from 85 mph straight line winds. I feel like I'm Amish! AEP Ohio says that it may be Tuesday before we see the lights on.

 

Unless you are in N Florida, in which case you just fly on through, don't slow down, don't look, don't care about anybody else.

It sounds really bad up there!
I hope everyone gets power and clean water back soon.

 

We were also lucky. No power from 5:00 to 11:30. Not bad living the Amish life for a short time. The local news readers are saying some folks may be without power for 5 to 7 days. Yep we are very lucky here.

 

another record here in Columbia SC today 107

 

Just heard from my friend Bill a few miles west of me. Tree on his son's car & on the garage roof. Luckily his 1962 Austin Healey is undamaged. He is still without power. I may have a Healey living in my garage for a while.
