That place is in Harrisburg where he works at and runs 24/7 365 days a year and serves the public. My son said they expect less strain on the grid today as a lot of industries are closed today in observance of the 4th.

From yesterday, my son works at a place where they have the ability to generate their own power for emergencies. He got the call to take their place off the grid, so there is more electric available for the grid. This was done to take some strain off the grid. his text to me: Grid is now at Level 2/3 emergency Got the call to switch to generation

Muhlenberg Township Police Department · ·doSosetrnp740li8gfc6ti01267701879h0h40303i15m3cafcu2fug179il · Mass Casualty Incident Declared During Union Pacific Big Boy #4014 Event Muhlenberg Township, PA — July 2, 2026 On July 2, 2026, the Muhlenberg Township Police Department, in partnership with the Muhlenberg Ambulance Association and Muhlenberg Fire Company, provided public safety and emergency medical coverage for the scheduled arrival of Union Pacific Railroad’s historic steam locomotive, Big Boy #4014, at the Reading & Blue Mountain Railroad Outer Station, located at 3501 Pottsville Pike, Reading, Pennsylvania. The event drew an estimated crowd of several thousand spectators in addition to more than 900 passengers arriving aboard excursion railcars. Due to operational delays along the locomotive’s route, the anticipated arrival was postponed for more than one hour. During this period, outdoor temperatures reached approximately 106 degrees, creating hazardous conditions for attendees who had gathered at the site. Beginning shortly before the Big Boy steam engine’s arrival and continuing throughout the event, emergency responders treated a significant number of individuals suffering from heat-related illnesses and medical emergencies. Patients ranged in age from infants to elderly adults. As the number of medical incidents rapidly increased, a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) was declared to facilitate the deployment of additional emergency resources. More than 100 individuals received medical treatment on scene, and 35 patients were transported to area hospitals for further evaluation and care. One patient suffered cardiac arrest and was successfully resuscitated prior to transport. The Muhlenberg Township Police Department was assisted by the Berks County Sheriff’s Office, Pennsylvania State Police, Reading & Blue Mountain Railroad Police, Berks County Department of Emergency Services, numerous fire departments, and EMS agencies from throughout Berks County and neighboring counties. Additional support was provided by Tower Health and BARTA through the deployment of cooling resources to assist affected individuals. The coordinated response by local, county, and regional public safety partners demonstrated the effectiveness of mutual aid cooperation and the commitment of emergency responders to protecting the public during a large-scale emergency incident. The Muhlenberg Township Police Department extends its sincere appreciation to every law enforcement agency, fire department, EMS provider, healthcare partner, business, organization, volunteer, and supporting agency that responded to or assisted during this event. Their professionalism, dedication, and willingness to work together played a critical role in ensuring the safety and well-being of those in attendance. Additional information will be released if warranted as the incident review process continues. Randall C. Hoover Chief of Police Muhlenberg Township Police Department

I got the same dewpoint as you (80) and 82 degrees here.

The grid is expected to break records today. The record was 165.5 Gigawatt in 2006. Forecast to be 166.2 today. Hopefully it can handle it, and it won't go down.

I's basically a once in a lifetime experience that this is happening. Hopefully you'll share them video and photos

We got your back!

Had a dewpoint earlier of 86

82 dewpoint here. Now only if we could get thunderstorms to fire up with the heat and humidity it would be nice. My shirt was completely soaked from sweat working in the garden for 3 5 hrs. Got what needed done. Garden finally drying out from the rain we had and the irrigation that I did before we got the rain. It was basically a muddy mess you sank when you trid to get in the garden.

Grass is growing where I'm at. I mowed last Thursday and by Sunday it looked like I didn't even mow. Of course last week I received 1.85 rain which was needed.

US issues emergency order for PJM Interconnection as heatwave looms By Thomson ReutersJun 30, 2026 | 5:14 PM June 30 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday declared an emergency across the nation’s largest power grid, citing soaring demand and supply ‌risks as extreme heat grips the region. In an order issued under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act, the energy secretary said a statutory ‌emergency exists in PJM interconnection’s region ⁠due to a ⁠combination of surging electricity demand and limited generation capacity. PJM submitted a formal request on June 29, warning of an “imminent electricity reliability emergency” driven by high temperature forecasts of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit or ⁠higher. PJM is projecting “peak loads ⁠of approximately 159,563 megawatts (MW) on July 1, 2026 and approximately 162,860 MW on July 2, 2026. These levels raise risks ‌of supply shortfalls, threatening grid stability. The grid operator also flagged that some generation units could face constraints due to a ⁠restriction under an environmental permit or state requirement. The DOE said the order is necessary to ensure ⁠sufficient electricity ‌supply and to protect public ⁠safety. PJM Interconnection serves a large swathe ‌of the eastern United States, and officials ⁠warned that without intervention, extreme weather conditions could lead to system stress severe enough to impact the ability to meet electricity demand
