Better to be careful and informed, a sudden storm killed four people last Thursday at a musical festival here in Belgium, so sad.

Warm and humid today: 84F and 51% at the moment.

Man, I had lunch with a friend in the Los Feliz area today. It was 93F. Much warmer than a reasonable 84F.

Not surprising, since you're further inland... Better than the valleys, though.

Yeah, it was mighty warm. Not comfortable. But heck, it's August, typically one of the hottest months out of the year.

Currently 97F with 5 straight days forecasted to reach triple digits. :sweat:

LOSE.


I know that's probably typical for that area this time of year but...dayem...that's a bit much.

It is typical, and too hot for my taste. But fortunately this summer there haven't been too many hot days. Only a three week period between June and early July have temperatures exceeded 100F everyday. Other than that, the weather has been in the 90's for most of the summer.

Time to break out the pork belly and beef tongue. :mrgreen:

:hehe: Weather is all goofy today. Overcast but still warm.

Yeah, I notice it clouded up suddenly. :crazy:

Regardless, I'm still washing my car later today.

Load up on hot dogs from Gray's Papaya. The apocalypse draws nigh.

NYC Orders First Mandatory Evacuation In History, 250,000 People Affected

We're all laughing nervously in the office but Irene is no joke. Obama already has said the hurricane will be of historic proportions, and the City of New York has ordered the first mandatory evacuation in history.

250,000 people are affected by the order.

^ My niece is in NYC, but in Upper Manhattan, so she doesn't have to evacuate... :victory:

As a precaution, she is stocking up on food. :fingerscrossed:

I'd have sausage links hanging from the ceiling and stock up with 15 large pizzas because they would still taste good cold.

Expected temp was suppose to be around 100F but now it's starting to rain. WTH :beaten:

Not too hot but lots of humidity these past couple of days. Expecting lots of rain with the hurricane coming through this weekend.

That's exactly what she's doing. :P

Hopefully she and the rest of the New Yorkers are taking the necessary precautions in order to stay safe in light of this purportedly epic storm.
