Dear Steve,

You said this exactly right.

The wind force was 90 miles per hour.

A Category I hurricane is from 74-95 miles per hour. That drecho was a very high Category I -- if we were comparing it to hurricanes.

Dear Steve,

I'm real glad you're ok. :o :hug::hug::hug: I don't know if I ever remember in my lifetime a storm front hitting the US that hard. And it seems like it was out of nowhere.

I loved that you saw fireflies out. I have always loved fireflies. Tonight I saw the full moon finally. I keep missing my full moons, so it was nice to catch it.

I am sorry you are feeling rejected and depressed. I hope you feel better. You can write to me about it if you wish.

Dear Donna,

good hear you are back home safe and have a home to come home to, too. Did not sound like a pleasant drive back that one. :hug::o:hug:

El Niño/La Niña "transition year?"
 

The weather has been freaky everywhere it seems. Hot for starters. I am thinking there must be one of those odd global current things driving many events and conditions, like El Niño or something like that.

a quick search uncovered this (blog) article, posted July 3rd, which states:
interesting. it goes on to speculate about the implications on drought etc.

all i know is, here, it was already hot in early June which should be comfortably warm in this area. What's more they keep promising rain which never shows up --- that said i would NOT like one of those derechos that just hit the US... yikes, i'll just keep wetting down my head with the spraybottle thank you.

I wish you had a/c waves, spraying yourself with a mist bottle doesn't sound comfortable at all.
(((((HUGS)))))

Tips to stay comfortable in the heat
 

Hi,

Here is a web site with information about how to stay cool:

Holding ice (or a cold plastic bottle of water from the fridge) on the inside of my arm (in the crook of my elbow) does work for me sometimes.

Hi, Donna,

That is too hot for me.
I am glad that you stayed inside today.

Thanks for the post Mari


I am really miserable at night in the bedroom. Even though we have
AC it always seems hot. I just can't seem to get the fan to
work well enough for the sweat and stuff.


Ugh.


Donna:grouphug::hug:

I am sorry donna that you are having this heat wave. Be thankful that you have power. as millions still do not on the east coast. really feel for them.
it was only low 90's today. makes a difference!
stay cool!

I realize how lucky I am to have AC and electricity.

I worry about my boys and their families not have central AC.

They have window AC at least. But its not exactly enough.

They both have pools in their back yards at least.
