Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 This wind and dust from Arizona is really wicked. I saw a hummingbird go by at about 39mph. He didn’t look happy. Shoulda hung on to the tree a little tighter. Then a road sign smacked into the porch rail. I picked it up. It said PHOENIX 85 MILES. I wrote a 4 in front of the 8 and tossed it up in the air. Last I saw it was headed toward Telluride. Should make it there by midnight I reckon. Trying to decide if I want to go tie my lawn chair down or have a drink right now. Yeah, a drink I believe.

Blackwater 53393 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I’m grounded by the doctor right now. They did the stem cell graft Friday before last and the doc says stay off of it and keep it dry. It was 96 today and will be about 100 from now ‘til Saturday. The A/C is working well and I’m good with being grounded right now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 We got hit a week or so ago. The real damage came from a type of downdraft not experienced around here. Knocked down hydro poles and large catenary towers. Lots of roof damage and hydro outages for 7 to 10 days in the area. To be expected I suppose of hydro commissions who relied on their contractors inspectors to approve completed works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if everyone was driving electric vehicles, there wouldn't be a vehicle moving during the time of the power outages. I guess that's what we have to look forward to when gas and diesel vehicles are banned. During a major power outage, all vehicle transportation grinds to a halt for the duration of the outage.

NO-No-No! You have it all wrong! Justin Castro Trudeau is preparing another order in council requiring all Canadians to plant current bushes on their property, sufficient for their own needs and apartment dwellers within a 1 mile radius.

Michigan Slim Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Heat index of 106 here. The average age of my crew is 59. Hard to clean up after this storm when we all want to fall over. I pulled my crews early today. Early start tomorrow. Heat index only 103 then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Saw 95 and a heat index of 106 a while ago, then a thunderstorm moved in- from the EAST of all places (most of our weather comes from the west or south but this one was moving due west). And when it got here, it was raining sideways for about half an hour-45 minutes. It went from 95 to 74 (with 91% humidity) in about 45 minutes. Good news is that it happened late enough in the day that it won't have a chance to heat back up and get really hot and humid before dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's heat plus humidity to come up with how hot it 'feels like'. Oddly enough, a very low humidity actually makes the air feel cooler than it actually is. Think of it as hot weather's answer to 'wind chill factor'.
