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!

Everybody, have a good time. Chill. Please? Let's not attack each other or go into politics from any side. Carry on and stay cool! Literally and figuratively

also, a record high of 99 at GSO

Here in Kingsport too about 8:45. One developed right overhead.

Just like Mexico! You got this, brotha!

This snowflake just wrapped up day three of mulching in 100+ degree heat. Now about to head home, throw my catfish gear and bait in my truck and heading on down to lake Aldred to catch me some monster flatties on this old school true summer night. Living the snowflake lifestyle this weekend and loving it.

That is one hell of a map. I would expect problems on a night like tonight, but JCP&L has the worst record of keeping lights on. They are always the highest outages measured by percentage of their total customers.

Thanks. I figured that. Heat index as a mainstream wx parameter is a relatively new (last 30 yr or so). They never talked about "feels like" temp much at all through the 1980s, local news or the NWS. We just heard, "it's not the heat, it the HUMIDITY!" Which is wrong factually. It's the "DEW POINT!" Period of record (POR) is paramount when talking wx records and historical context, something that often get ignored b/c it deflates the preferred narrative. Let me give an example. Last year, I saw a post one day something like 30 sites in TX set their all-time record high monthly temp (can't recall which month it was). In a vacuum, that was true. What they left out is since 2001, TX has added well over 100 AWOS METAR sites at airports across the state, and continues to add several each year. And many mesonet sites during this time as well, esp. in the TX PH and West TX. See the problem here? Period of record for many sites is very short, but they leave that detail out! Omission of facts is no different that lying IMHO.
