The Nasty Weather Thread

Got close to fifty degrees here, no idea what that is in barbaric American measurmeant, terrible temperatures though passed the all time Canadian record by 4.5 degrees... I'm just glad global warming is nothing to worry about according to some people.

They are watering the steel bridges in Seattle. Absolutely insane weather in British Colombia too. Hope you stay underground in the basement and keep cool.

I don't have a basement... I should start digging, the temperatures have eased of a bit now, still around 30 though, quite a lot of wildfires too, lytton which set the record (49.6) has pretty much burned down, of course the fire started from something else(maybe a spark from a train) but when it's so hot and dry the area is just ready to catch fire.

The weather IS insane. Everywhere. It's so unevenly divided, too.
Droughts in California (as usual), while the Eastern seaboard (and the Caribbean) are gearing up for yet another active hurricane season, which means intense storms with the winds and rains they always bring.

Elsa twated herself out rolling over Cuba and lands as quick upgraded hurricane 1 but bad indicator for the season. Best thing was that she was really moving fast from start to landfall. It's been raining for the last 8 days here some heavy some light but saturated. They're actually using inflatable and water levees in some BF spots a few months ago

. Said it before but if we see anything close to last year then I see a U Haul in my future. The Gulf want's it back.

Saw this video of a mudslide in Japan a few days ago. At least 19 people missing after disaster in town of Atami west of Tokyo. Very scary.

Perfect timing Ida you ugly hag. I think I'm due for an extended vacation in Destin Fl anyway. Have to say this one sort of just crept up stalker style. But if you show me a Cat 4 and I salute and walk the other direction. Of course we've seen it before but this has a certain feel. If that's a thing

. Rule #1..no sleeping in a Walmart parking lot or trying to shower with a carwash sprayer this time because of zero hotels

. Ah memories. Should be a hoot.

Thought about you as Ida was churning up the Gulf. Doesn't help how the Gulf is basically a welcoming funnel for any system that goes to the west of Florida. Someone is automatically assured a hit. Damn the western protrusion of NW Africa and how it seems to spit out these systems factory-style. It used to be one maybe two systems in the Atlantic at any one time. Now it's four or five. Down here we're now entering our least favorite month of the year (weather-wise anyway). I'll breathe a little sigh of relief come October 1st, although technically hurricane season isn't over till end of November.
