Bad Weather in the USA

[Aggie_Ama]

Texas is also setting record temperatures daily, 101 yesterday in Austin. June is normally hot but the 100's don't occur on multiple days until July. We are already on mandatory Stage 2 drought water schedule in my neighborhood. Every county in the area is under a burn ban due to the wind and extremely dry conditions.

last week was the coldest ever on record week in June for Seattle.

Just plain old hot around San Francisco, but it's normal for this time of year. More wind than usual, I'd say. But the fires did start real early this year. That's our big worry is fire season, followed by floods in the winter.

I've wondered about our Indiana members. I hope no one has flood damage. The Silvers are ok, but how are the rest?

lots of flooding here in WI too. i'm fine (while i hate living on the top of a hill when biking, it can be useful at times). hope others have fared as well as i have.

Temperatures and humidity finally broke here in Kentucky today. Looks like we will get one day of "normal" June weather before the hot/humid stuff returns tomorrow. I know my furry buddies appreciate the break in temperatures and would appreciate it more if I would turn the AC on for them.

I did notice on today's club ride how dry it is here in Kentucky. The heavy rains have stayed north of us and as we rode today I noticed lots of creeks were dry or very low. I sure hope we don't have another drought this year.

Even with all the rain and flooding we had at Easter, the farmers are already complaining that the soil is too dry. I guess it's because we had so much wind in May.

We're in east-central Indiana. Lots of rain and day after day of storms, one death in the county due to flooding, but nothing even close to what they're dealing with southwest of here after 10.94 inches of rain last weekend. My prayers go out to them. (I sandbagged for a week in Quincy, Illinois, during the 500-year flood of the Mississippi in 1992 -- this type of thing is absolutely devastating.)

Locally, Knightstown was hit with 100 mph straight-line winds in the first round of storms; tiny little Carthage saw a tornado dance through two days later. The June 4 and May 31 entries here -- http://bicycleeyes.wordpress.com/ -- give one a feel for the damage.

We moved from MO before that flood. It was really a sight! Can you believe that Dutchtown was under water yet again this spring??

500 years goes fast!

And the hottest in NC (four 100+ days in a row -- in freaking June! It's not even officially summer yet!)

Mother Nature must be very, very mad at us.
