Thunder hits different in the mountains. A narrow valley is basically a big giant natural amphitheater. It gives a whole new dynamic to claps and rumbles.

also enjoying a pretty wild lightning show.

Hope that lightning isn't starting fires.

You can mark the changing of the seasons because guys like MICH go from saying "it's supposed to be hot in July, what's the big deal" to "woo-hoo, 55 degree January!"

* Guys like MICH are also very very much "this 67 degree day in July disproves global warming" guy.

Yes, there is a wind chill in July. Why are people whining about the heat? If it is "too hot" where you are, just go someplace where the weather is nicer until it changes for the better and then come back. And if you can't relocate for the short term, get outside and enjoy the lovely sunshine and proclaim what a blessing it is.

British meteorologist John Hammond issued a warning about this week’s deadly heat wave in Europe during a GB News segment. But news anchor Bev Turner’s reaction was right out of “Don’t Look Up” as she noted what a nice day it was, downplayed the threat and then lobbed a bizarre accusation at his entire profession.

“I want us to be happy about the weather,” Turner said. “I don’t know whether something’s happened to meteorologists to make you all a bit fatalistic and harbingers of doom.”

She also complained that “every time I’ve turned on, anyone’s talking about the weather, they’re saying that there’s going to be tons of fatalities, but haven’t we always had hot weather?”


This woman has a future with Fox News.

i can’t for the life of me understand the rationale of people deciding to ride out such a storm

i was in Daytona 18 years ago when Charlie came through…near identical path across florida for Ian. just unbelievable power and destruction, even after having weakened due to landfall. almost everything is replaceable but your life. why risk it?

at what point might it be wise to just stop rebuilding in places that keep getting their asses kicked by nature?
