Heat wave: 1,000+ records fall in US in a week

Any consolation that it's raining here, can't remember if it's seasonal or not as it's all gone to pot in the last few years.

Flooding in my village today, nothing too serious but got in some shops and houses. Kids enjoyed it when the fire brigade turned up to help clear the area.

40 degrees celsius. I could`t possibly survive in that temperature. On a hot Norwegian summer day, like 25 degrees I can respiration problems. It litterally gets hard to breath. It`s like standing in strong headwind and trying to breath. Ì always start to wear shorts around february/march when there`s still low temperatures and snow. I stop wearing them around oktober/november. I love the cold, and despise heat almost as much as communism and religion.

I can agree with all of that.

You know, if just you'd stop smoking that stuff it might still be possible to save what's left of your memory. :P

But seriously folks... IS IT HOT ENOUGH FOR YA?

We've had heat indices over 100 degrees F here for several days running as well... in addition to that terrible storm system that moved through here overnight on Friday. Probably the same one that did such terrible damage to parts of the Eastern seaboard over the weekend. Straight line winds, I don't know how strong, I was on the way home and it was blowing street signs off their poles and everything that wasn't nailed down was airborne.

Last night we even had a hail storm.

My refrigerator decided to stop cooling its insides late last week and they couldn't get here to fix/replace it until today. And I was really disgruntled about no ice, no cold drinks, and nothing but takeout food, until I saw all the people without any power at all. At least I still have lights and A/C.

Im right in the middle of it all!

105-110 Degrees EVERY DAY WITH NO RAIN in Southeast Missouri.

And a couple severe storms the past couple of days.

If only it would rain.
