T-storm knocked the power line over the hill last night, power came on a little while ago. Fire started up on 36, been hearing fire choppers all morning! We are supposed to have another "T" storm type of day again! Temps mid 80's today, then shot up to the 90's then 100's . Don't hear any choppers over head now but it is starting to get dark and cloudy out, think I'll just give up on today and have an early vodka

CNN:
All-time record triple digit heat forecast for many people that don't have A/C
They're talking about [some of] us in the Pacific Northwest.
But it's a DRY heat

We had the thunder and lightning at Antelope Lake but the next day was just rain. Kept the dust down nicely. I heard a couple of small fires on the scanner but nothing of any size.

"But it's a DRY heat"
No, really -- it is!
As much as that phrase has become a joke, it really does make a difference. I can put a wet cloth on my head and point an electric fan at me and get a little relief, cooling all that blood flowing through my skull.
On the other end of the spectrum: In early March I was camped on Gulf of Mexico barrier island, Grand Isle, Louisiana. It was barely 80°F...but it was also about 90% humidity. I was sweating, so I turned the a/c on in my camper!
My West-Coast-tuned body/brain system thinks that if I'm sweating while sitting still then it must be HOT.

We have lived in our home for 31 years. The hottest temperature we have recorded here at home was 97° last summer. Right now our outside temperature is 99° beating the last record by 2°. Sad, sad, sad.

This, just now, brought to mind an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation -- an episode called "The Inner Light"* -- frequently considered to be the best (or one of the best) of that series. It's sad and beautiful.
What made me think of it was the theme of increasing heat and drought.
Except that Star Trek TNG is fiction.
(* Star Trek TNG is streamable on Amazon Prime. The Inner Light is 5th season, 25th episode)
