  1. I catered a wedding at the base of a mountain, surrounded by corn fields, it was 104 with a HI of 122, and not a lick of wind. Out of 5, I literal had to carry 2 into Er with heat stoke, other 2 had heat exhaustion pretty bad. My trick, I went to patient first saying I was dehydrated and got 3 bags of saline right before the event. They all thought I was joking when I said I was going to do that because I know how easy I sweat. During the event I had 50 flexible ice packs in a color and basically rigged a vest out of straps and changed up the ice packs every 15-20 mins. I remember dumping an ice bath on my head and within minutes all the wet was warm/hot. I clicked 27,450 steps that day. Drank over 200oz in addition to 3 saline IV bags and weight in at nights end 6 lbs less than morning. I had horrible cramps that night. I was paid very very well for that event as in thousands of dollars for 10 hours work but in hindsight The Who thing was just pure stupidity .
  2. 1889-2020 131 years It Hit 100 31 years (4.22 years avg) 57 times 1988-4 1991-5 1999-6 6 times since 2000 in 5 years .
  3. A lot is dependent on Precipitation. That summer of record never ending rainfall was so insane because we managed to fall below normal fir highs but the lows were so ridiculously high due to the moisture we finished like top 5 warmest ever and you could just see people’s brains break when they heard that. Not to get off topic but that seems like one of the biggest challenges in dealing with public. People see warmest ever and all they think is how hot it got each day. Even though monthly records were always kept this way it might be easier to create a new category than change ingrained perception and bias which almost seems to backfire more as of likely. End of rant. I would love to see evidence of a below average rain summer and high minimum temps. .
  4. Once the DP climbs above 68 or so, which is much more common now than ever (we shattered every record heat month in the back of our minimum temps) I hate life. There isn’t a damn difference between here and central Florida for probably 1/2 the summer .
  5. It’s 82 out already with a DP of 74 .
  6. Maybe if the storms all pop up over everyone and decide not to move for a few hours .
  7. I know this is off but there does seem to be a strong signal for some sort of localized uhi effect taking place .
  8. It already was misting here. Just made it far worse humidity wise .
  9. Anyone have access to the archives of level 2 data? Would be interested in seeing velocity loop for that storm. .
  10. Haha I know. It does seem that next week starts the 70+ train .
  11. Man oh man, I love snow, but at this point when we get a week in January of 70’s Voyager better have a free pass to say any and everything he wishes. .
  12. It was 87 in Florida and looks like mid 90s next 4 days. On the bright side my stepdad just won $2K .
  13. These wind events spread the probable damage out among numerous events. Imagine for a minute 5 straight years of no wind events, then a tropical system slams into us with 60+ gusts. The amount of damage at one time would be incredible .
  14. Is there a big announcement happening today ? .
  15. Haha. Hey I’ll bartending at the downtown one all day & night today. Outside seating will be amazing with the weather. .
  16. Off topic, but I know a few of you enjoy a nice drink from time to time. In my 17 years bartending I never have tasted a better liquor than this one I sampled tonight. A mezcal made gin from Oaxaca.... yes the future is here. .
  17. Good for taking a CAT 1 to CAT 5 in 24 hours .
