The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Crazy year so far, we went from beneficial amounts of rainfall to profound drought pretty quickly. Hard to believe that we did not enter the top 10 records from most consecutive days without precipitation in 2011, yet recorded 40 consecutive 100 degree days.
July-August-September of this year is rivaling 2011, just not in the number of days of triple digit temps. More humid this year versus 2011, but once you add in the heat index and lack of rain, there's not much difference between the two.
I cannot imagine how horrible things would be right now had we not received all the rain we did in March-April-May , most lakes would likely be at all time lows.
