That was an incredible effort from Cabo Verde. The smallest country to ever qualify for a knockout match in the World Cup nearly took out the defending champions. Their GK Vozinha was incredible and that goal from Lopes Cabral was breathtaking. "Don't cry because its over; smile because it happened" (Ludwig Jacobowski)

at least by the 1990s, the heat index was definitely something communicated pretty routinely in local news etc, at least in these parts. Not sure what you mean by "preferred narrative" aside from stating obvious facts about now versus in the past.

95 at 10pm at DCA lol. I assume the wind will switch and some point and it will go to like 88/79 but still.

Almost 239,000 outages in NJ currently, down a little from 256,000 earlier. That's insane. This is going to be a while for those affected, I'm afraid. https://projects.nj.com/data/outagetracker/

we got close to 120 - lots of trees here plus somewhat close to the Potomac. I believe it.

Storms look like they may make it east.

1.30" so far this eve brings us up to about 2" in the past 24hrs.

Played 27 holes in today’s heat. It was a scorcher.

TEWR from 7:37 PM. Damaging winds were moving through Morristown and most of the county, on the leading edge of, or even in front of the line itself. A separate thunderstorm downburst was moving along the Essex/Passaic county line and into southern Bergen/northern Hudson counties. At the time of this radar image, warnings were still 10 to 16 minutes away from issuance for the 4 eastern counties.

We are in a tstrom watch until 11 but I don’t see enough energy here to keep them fired up

Do we get some late night storms??? Seems like the night where there's plenty of energy for storms to feed Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Nothing wrong or invalid in saying that. Mainstream narratives vary all the time, what is "in" and "out" changes, including in the sciences. Narratives for science issues are often dictated by non-science-based factors, no? Recency bias is a big one -- what is occurring now or in the recent past, is how it is and will be going forward (and the negative bias is huge). The more one looks at logical fallacies and cognitive biases, and how they influence us all and are used manipulate the population, one see things for what they really are. Also, science evolves. What is said or known now is going to change over time at various levels. There is societal arrogance that exists that we know best in the here and now and everything is figured out b/c things have come so far. That's not what history has shown. There is still a lot we do not know.

Pretty amazing to have DP so high & still hit a 100. Truly frying pan weather! Someone take the frying pan away from Mother Nature!!!

Incredible heat is leading to the last 2 days of intense storms & lots of flooding & wind damage throughout the area.

Made it to 89 again. Guess the mid-70s dews kept the temp in check.

From my sister in Cookeville District: The Cookeville District remains the hardest hit and continues to have the largest number of outages. Crews are working through widespread storm damage, including downed power lines, trees on power lines, and broken poles. This is a significant restoration effort and will not be completed tonight. If you are still without power in the Cookeville area, please make preparations in case your power is out overnight. Based on current damage assessment, some members in the Cookeville district will remain without power tonight. While we are working as quickly as possible, some outages may take two days to restore due to the extent of the damage. At this time, we have

Not sure what happened in my area. My power went out before the winds really hit. We had a CTG strike, a boom of thunder and off went the power. Then the winds really picked up. Lighting must have hit something. Grid was probably pushed to the limit already with the heat.

100.1 for the high, 85 now and breezy with some drizzle

86 at 930

Never should have happened in the first place.Somebody should have spoke up.

Yes I agree too thank you.

“The preferred narrative”. Dude, stop.

Thank you!
