The Weather Thread

[Tom the Bomb]

Such a terrible situation. Prayers for them my friend.

Hey thanks for thinking of me Derek.
Yeah, not good. We live about 20 miles from the devastation.
A small town of Decanter was crushed. Bentonville had some damage, Rogers was smacked hard. We have friends at our church whose house was totaled.

A 2 story and they slept up stairs.

We kept getting these texts starting around 2:00am early Sunday morning. I was about to tell CJ to shut her phone off when she realized it was Jenny texting they were hunkered down under the stairs as the bedroom up stairs where they slept was gone.

Sunday morning main transportation arteries were shut down with thousands of trees ripped out of the ground and tossed across the highways.

We spent over 4 hours trying to get to them and finally had to give up.
The town of Rogers, where our church is, literally looked as if it was in a bomb raid from World War II.

I just got back from the Church taking a generator and power cords to hook up a refrigerator and some lights for the daughters of the Pastor who is out of town.

Getting there and back from my place takes us on Hwy 12 that winds through a lot of the devastation. Heartbreaking to see folks who literally have nothing… have even less.

Huge oak trees that have crushed shitty little homes, and people standing outside looking at them as that was all they could do.

Thousands upon thousands of trees ripped out of the ground with a massive root ball 15 feet in diameter strewn about.

Not much of a Memorial weekend.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like they've got their work cut out for them over there.

Yep that’s why I’m rolling out at 4:30 to meet my cousin at hawes for a 5;30 roll. Early bird or no worm out here.

 

[herzalot]

Don't come here - there's a heat advisory! Brutal highs

 

[SnakeCharmer]

The ENTIRE lower 48 is going to sizzle today.

 

[Y-not]

See you in the 'Beer ... I drank some' this afternoon.
I did get my generator and cords ready.....

Nope. See my post above. And even cooler at the coast.

But I suspect all roads to the beach will be jammed.

 

[Danimal]

Couldn't ride so ran errands and now to go hang at the Pool and chill. Last time there was some very nice "talent" on the lounger getting some sun.....now were are my sunglasses....

not super hot high temps here, maybe up to 90 is we push it. But I like the heat so there is that.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Nope. See my post above. And even cooler at the coast.

But I suspect all roads to the beach will be jammed.

I'd bet real money that even the coast is above average today. And, stop disagreeing with me dammit!

I would park in RSM and ride to the beach unless I were Herzie or @StrandLeper

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Nope…

Just look at that current "real feel" reading, almost 10 degrees higher than the actual temp. That's HOT.

Hmmm, I'm seeing a trend here...everyone is down by the beach today.

Perfect in the shade. Even perfecter now that I’ve found a Mexican lager I like…

Stop saying things that aren't true!

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Stop saying things that aren't true!

Im only telling True Lies!

I could be a real nit-picker and say that what I said about the entire lower 48 being under excessive heat alerts in the METRO REGIONS, and be 100% ACCURATE, but, I wouldn't, and I couldn't, do that to you Herz.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Good Lord, it's hot out tharrr!

And now, we have a blow dryer hot breeze and some tropical clouds surrounding the basin.

 

[herzalot]

NOAA is a little confused right now. Predicted high of 72°. Current temp 89°

My weather app on my phone is much more accurate: 81° now with a high of 82° predicted

Ahhhh-haaaa! Looks to me like you're in a heat advisory.

 

[Y-not]

Sheesh you sissy.
We're at 104° heading to 105°
No I didn't ride, drink beer, or shoot anything, just becoming a couch potato chip until Tuesday.

 

[herzalot]

It's currently 81° - If it's below 90, it ain't hot!

But I would not intentionally ride my MtB if the predicted high were 90 or above. Probably not even 85. That's why god invented surfing!

 

[Runs with Scissors]

If it's below 90, it ain't hot! It's 81°.

With humididity, even 81 can be - and is - miserable.

I grew up here in OC (Cypress), and we didn't have AC back then. I can't imagine not having it now, and I'm only about 5 miles east of where I grew up.

80+ at any beach in So Cal is above average.

It's also by the Man upstairs invented beer.

 

[Fueledbyex8]

Yup its a warm one today, stay hydrated like @Voodoo Tom

 

[singlespeedrider]

This afternoon dropped to 103° so I went out and got another ride in. You get used to the heat out here.

I still wish I lived in Cypress with my local heat now. Won’t get below 79-78 until October. 100 degree/108 heat index all week in Tulsa. Even waiting until 8pm to mow the lawn it’s over 100 heat index.
