Can someone please point me to the study that shows a connection between the type of weather one roots for/loves and the influence that opinion has on the actual outcome of the weather? 5/15/18 had a personal impact on my life and as a result I no longer like severe thunderstorms. Trust me, it could have been must worse but I'm perfectly fine when severe weather misses my house now. Do I berate the folks on here who root for severe weather? Nope, that has no impact on the outcome. Specific to the heat and humidity this week there was an incident here in Goshen where an elderly person had to be taken to the hospital due to a heat related illness. The person had no AC in their home. Why? Who knows, maybe they should've worked harder years ago, maybe they have a disability, I don't know. So what did the cops do? Did they admonish people who were enjoying the heat while poolside? Did they chastise people enjoying the AC cranking in their McMansions? Nah. One of them donated an AC unit and a couple off duty cops installed it so the resident could safely return home.
