  1. Has anyone else ever been stung by a yellow jacket near their eye? Was working on a replacing a rotted window sill while 20 feet up on a ladder. Opened up a yellow jacket nest while ripping out the rotted sill. I got stung in the face multiple times and the swelling is crazy. I got stung like right near both eyes and they are swollen shut and I can barely see. Does anyone know how long the swelling normally lasts. I have felt fine and my only symptom is the swelling.
  2. The Tolland County ground water sensor in Mansfield is at .44 feet. Crazy how much water is in the ground there and how fast it has risen.
  3. That's either the oil pressure sensor or coolant temp sensor. It looks new but those sensors are a common item to go bad.
  4. Saw some Facebook posts in Fairfield County of homes with septic tanks backing up into the house. Yards were still completely under water this morning.
  5. Saw a report of 4.3 inches in Stamford.
  6. Phones just went off for a flash flood warning. Little late for that...
  7. I am just east of NH and got almost 3 inches in the last few hours. Tons of flooding here.
  8. 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.
  9. Gorgeous evening here in Narragansett. This beach is going to look like a war zone soon.
  10. Some impressive heat up near Hudson Bay.
  11. Live free or die! Thanks New Hampshire!
  12. 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.
  13. Very little here in Branford as well. .09 since midnight. Been outside most of the day and have had some peeks of sun.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Did the oil light come on? Does it turn over now and run? Could also be a snapped timing belt.
  17. 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.
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. I'm down in the Newark NJ area and it is still 85 at 11 pm....
