Re: Too Hot
I was in West Virginia last week, right after the storms knocked out 85% of the state power. Some of that state still has no power, they were closing retirement homes and sending the elderly home with any relative they could find. It was weird driving through towns at night that had no lights, no stoplights, anything. Every hotel booked solid into neighboring states, I saw people in hotels that had no power, incredible. Heat was in the 100's, I went jogging and about had heat stroke, and I jog in Georgia! We went camping this past week in Stone Mountain Georgia, temps were 95 every day. We hiked to the top of the mountain even. I sweat like a hooker in church every day. Pretty hot here too, but nothing like the summer of 1993 in Alabama when it was 100 + every day for three months straight. No kidding, now that was very hot.

Re: Too Hot
Thankfully the temps have dropped here somewhat. It's crazy that the low 90's feel nice now. Hopefully we'll get some rain soon.

Re: Too Hot
Was it that hot in Alabama in 1993? I worked in a poorly ventilated shop. I guess that i was conditioned to it, because I don't remember that at all.

Re: Too Hot
Boy I do, I had just moved to Montgomery and had to put up a fence and a work shed that summer. I don't see it in any archives, but I remember it. Maybe there was a few days in the middle where it hit but being there was almost like being in Kuwait in the summer.Reid wrote:Was it that hot in Alabama in 1993?
