I got caught a little off guard on my 10 mile hike this morning. That sun came out and the heat index went nuts. It kicked my butt a little bit. Prime environment for big rainers for some.

I'm literally standing somewhere exactly like the flash flood watch is describing. Bacon Ridge run (fresh waster spring 200 feet upstream) it was dry last time i was through here. It's super tropical out here. Flood me.

I'm about 3 miles into my hike here in Crownsville. When i first started about 80 minutes ago I could smell it and it looked nasty. Now the sun is breaking out and the smoke is thinning out.

Ugh.. I thought the rain knocked down the smoke. I'm headed out for a 8 mile morning hike and it smells like electrical fire lol. Oh well. I can't sit in the house all day.

I just got woken up by a loud lightning strike. I love that. It looks like another round headed my way. AA County looks like the winner this morning. Headed your way, CAPE.

Does a N95 even help with smoke? I've definitely exhaled smoke into a N95 and it came right out. I've got to wear a mask anyway because of the job im doing. Just curious. Remember the virus debit in 2020? Lol

Did you see the visible satellite of that? It just kept boiling right on that stalled dry line. The smoke was flowing in from the nw and suddenly that complex exploded and kept boiling. It was a beautiful event.

It smells like the forest fire moved into a huge pile of used tires. Smell like burning rubber. The odd blue fog is nice too. It's going to be a great summer day lol. Have i mentioned how I dislike summer lol

My guys and I are scraping old paint off a house foundation and repainting it. Climbing under the deck will be extra enjoyable today lol.

Naaaa.. he's not one of us lol. I'm super ready! It's great watching these heat domes turing the lakes into batch water. Man.. those first cold shots in late November are going to produce epic rates. As a rate chaser I approve.

Just got done staining a large deck with oil base stain. My employee looked at me while wiping oil on his face while attempting to wipe away the sweat and said, this is hell on earth. How do you do it everyday. I said "because I like it". He told me I was sick in the head. It's 98, humid and smoky. What's not to like. Better then being in an office building.

Wait.... i thought we were going to have low dews for this heatwave. Dewpoint here is close to 80 lol. Yay! Smoky, hot, dry, super humid. I can't understand how anyone can love summer. Give me a 4:47 sunset and a -10 wind chill over this bs any day. And snow!! Feet of snow!

I definitely don't. I remember the brown haze from local air pollution but not wildfire smoke. Did Canada change something over the past 10 years? Maybe a different approach when it comes to forest fires?

I was thinking the same thing. I remember as a kid strobe light thunderstorms in the middle of the night. You'd wake up to pouring rain and continues flashing and loud thunder. I honestly can't remember the last time that happened.

I remember that! I was only 6 lol. Crazy rates. Best rates I've ever seen were Jan 25, 2000, February 2010, and by far the most insane was last January in the town of Pulaski and Lacona NY. 6-8" per hour is just different. It's like twilight zone. You can literally watch it accumulating like a time lapse video.
