Stay cool everybody.
Well that didn't happen. Power went out yesterday at 4:10pm. Figured it was due to the heat, and it would be repaired quickly. Went outside while calling the power company to report the outage, and started talking to my neighbor. Saw 2 fire trucks race down the next street over, so I figured it was a car accident or something and someone took out a telephone pole. Neighbor asks me if I want to go see what's going on, so I say sure, and we jump in his truck and drive down there. Nothing going on really, just a single downed wire. Figured it'd take Duke Power no time to get it repaired, so neighbor drops me off at home.

My house is exposed to the sun, so the inside temp quickly rose to 80, It was 85 inside by the time I went to bed at 8:15. Power came on around 8:45. Annoyed

At least it came back on. You'll be needing your A/C again today.

Worst case you could've gone to work and slept. I'm sure they had power there. laugh out loud

In order to protect yourself from the heat, the NWS recommends you take action:

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and avoid drinks with alcohol, caffeine or lots of sugar.

Educate: Find a cool place where you will be able to get out of the heat and know the warning signs of heat illness.

Act Quickly: Get medical help right away if you experience heavy sweating, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, cramping, nausea, dizziness, confusion and exhaustion.

Take It Easy: Avoid over exertion especially between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Take breaks at least hourly in the shade or in an air conditioned location. You should also stay out of the sun and in a cooled building as much as possible.

That was our day yesterday. Officiall a Record High of 100 (101+ in some cities) for the day, 115 heat index, and a record high low temp for the day. Stay cool my friend.

Lower today but still in mid 90's and chances of rain this afternoon.

We had heat related deaths in the area yesterday as well.
