I am just east of NH and got almost 3 inches in the last few hours. Tons of flooding here.

Sounds like he might have light a large 4 or 6 inch professional mortar shell and learned the hard way they are fused with quickfuse. Many people get their hand on them and are unaware the second the flame hits the wick it goes off. The fuse is set up like that as they are fired electronically. Sounds like he light one and it instantly went into his chest.

Gorgeous evening here in Narragansett. This beach is going to look like a war zone soon.

Some impressive heat up near Hudson Bay.

Shut em down.

Live free or die! Thanks New Hampshire!

Congrats!

That same area NE of Hartford around Ellington has been getting crushed again today. There has to be some big totals there between yesterday and today.

Very little here in Branford as well. .09 since midnight. Been outside most of the day and have had some peeks of sun.

The oil light comes one when oil pressure drops to basically zero. People often confuse the oil light thinking its the oil level and its just low. It's a pressure sensor that turns on when you have no oil pressure in the engine. If you were driving for a week with it on and off the engine is most likely seized.

That part also contains the temperature sensor as you can see the wound coil temp sensor on it. Its probably bad and I would replace it. Almost all fridges use the fridge section for temp control. That part is available on eBay pretty cheap. Most of the time the issues with a basic fridge is that temp sensor or the compressor relay. There really isn't much to them and generally the compressors can last a long time as long as they don't leak. Also, if you don't have central AC and your kitchen is like 80+ degrees your fridge is going to run like crazy. I have an electricity monitor on my house and have been away and set my central air to like 82 and saw it runs like twice as long.

Did the oil light come on? Does it turn over now and run? Could also be a snapped timing belt.

From Upton's Facebook. Looks like Newark hit 103 as they commented after the post. Preliminary high temps today: ☀️Central Park: 98 (hottest temp since 2013) ☀️JFK: 91 ☀️LaGuardia: 100R ☀️Islip: 89 ☀️Newark: 102R (ties all-time June record) ☀️Bridgeport: 96R R=Record high tied or broken Relief (and rain) is on the way! Newark has bumped up to 103° in the last several hours, making today the hottest June day in recorded history for the city.

Its looking like a sinkhole took that condo down in Florida. Cassie Straton was speaking to her husband, Michael, from their balcony on the south side of the Champlain Towers when she noticed the building started shaking in the early hours of Thursday, her older sister Ashely Dean said. "Suddenly she says, 'honey, the pool is caving in. The pool is sinking to the ground,'" Dean said, according to Sky News. "He said, 'what are you talking about?' And she says, 'the ground is shaking, everything's shaking' and then she screamed a blood-curdling scream and the line went dead," Dean added. https://news.yahoo.com/woman-standing-her-balcony-phone-154010320.html

Spend the extra $50 and get the Atlas. I have had mine since it came out and have had no issues with it. It supposedly has the same sensirion sensor as a Davis. You will need the online hub if you want to connect it online. https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-01009M-Weather-Definition-Touchscreen/dp/B074XK7GRQ

I'm down in the Newark NJ area and it is still 85 at 11 pm....

The UFO report is out. UFO Report Says ‘Unidentified Aerial Phenomena’ Defy Worldly Explanation Propulsion and technology in some cases exceed present-day scientific knowledge, U.S. officials say. WASHINGTON—U.S. intelligence officials reviewing dozens of reports of mysterious flying objects found 18 in which the objects displayed no visible propulsion or appeared to use technology beyond the known capabilities of the U.S. or its adversaries, according to an intelligence report released Friday. https://www.wsj.com/articles/ufo-report-cites-unidentified-aerial-phenomena-that-defy-worldly-explanation-u-s-official-says-11624653953

Some crazy security camera footage from inside one of the condos that went off from motion. That's dust crumbling down and you can see the walls start bulging . The audio is chilling and I can't imagine being woken up to those noises.

Google Street view seems to back that up showing the balconies with missing concrete and exposed rebar. I can't believe people would be out on those floating balconies when you can visually see them falling apart right from the street.

Over half of the 130 units in the building collapsed. I would imagine the death toll will be over 100. I also read there was an underground parking garage under the section that fell.

Here is a good view of it from the beach.

We got a puppy last year and had a fence put in. I didn't want to use any chemical fertilizers and herbicides in his area so went with all natural products. Was actually quite amazed at the results. My lawn has never looked better. I have been using Simply Organic lawn fertilizer from Home Depot. Its plant based and mostly leftover distillery grains and soy meal. Its slow release and works similar to milorganite but smells like beer malt. I spot treat weeds with Tenacity which is a plant based herbicide. Its active ingredient, mesotrione, is based on a naturally occurring compound produced by the bottlebrush plant (Callistemon citrinus) that inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plant species.

Does a car struggle in that kind of heat? Is there less power? I would think the ac would have a hard time keeping up. Imagine a black car outside turned off with the windows up in that heat. The inside would probably melt.

Just read about the 250 billion dollar tech and manufacturing bill that was recently passed. Looks like it was aimed at countering China as a good chunk of it is going into chip manufacturing and rare earth metal extraction. Might be some great investment opportunities in those industries.
