No news or clips coming out of Cape Coral, that’s never a good sign. My aunt is there and I’m increasingly worried for her, haven’t heard from her in over an hour.
edit: she just finally texted, said it’s still going gangbusters
In a group chat with my aunt and family in Cape Coral.. she just texted
“Here’s my address for insurance purposes just in case, I’m going to lose everything, this is really really bad”
Ending September with just an incredible stretch of weather. The last six weeks have been filled with lots of sunshine, seasonal temps, and cool nights.
Slowly but surely descending into my fall mood. August was truly just a gorgeous month filled with sunshine and cool nights. I’m ready for a batch of chili, football and no pumpkin flavored crap.
Can always tell when you’re getting later in the summer, when you can smell the corn in the air. We actually lost power this morning from the early morning storms. It’s august folks, the apple orchard opened up here. Just unbelievable how fast time goes.
It’s so dry here, and any beneficial rains are hard to come by. Not much rain in the next 7 days with another round of heat, will further exacerbate the drought problems here.
surprisingly the random pop up showers that drop minuscule rains are greening up the lawns.
Moderate drought officially in east central Illinois. If this weekends rain doesn’t materialize, we could be in trouble. Right now forecast has 0.2”.
88 currently, should tag 90. lawns are getting crispy.
Have to wonder if this flash drought will have a feedback loop for July and August. Mother Nature always has the final say, never thought two weeks away we were going to have back to back brutal heatwaves.
the pattern sucked for March, April, May.
