I don't think people realize how lucky we are to be average temps with a 597dm ridge over us. We're dodging freight trains here weather wise this year.

Agreed.  I have teammates in Phoenix and Austin and consistently hear about the heat.  The peeps from Omaha and St. Louis also occasionally have been hit.  We have had a very bland summer and should be happy for it.  

 

On another note, it is a great time to have a broken air conditioner unit.  The kids are all going away to school and I have a portable room unit i can use for the bedroom until I get it fixed. :-)  Am not looking to shell out tons of cash yet for a new unit.

This was 12 years ago?  Dang... time flies

Truly an interesting, if not amazing experience.

For me when it was happening and immediately after, it was about 99% wow/awesome and 1% nervousness - like 1) what are we supposed to be doing? hiding under a desk? running out the building? 2) that...was not weak.

I noped TF out of a rickety-ass enlisted barracks-turned office space on Andrews AFB. Tried standing in a doorway to start, and when that thing swayed like a reed in the wind I ran the hell outside.

Some upcoming summer soon you have to figure we’re due for some sort of season long underwater volcano fueled record breaking heat death ridge. It’s gonna suck so bad but I’ll enjoy every day without it until then. 

According to Murphy's Law that should happen sometime around December 15th and last through late February 2024.
