For those of you in the South West, please heed the heat warning
it's eleven in the morning, and the medical calls for heat stroke and postration are off the scale, as well as two full rescues... both heat related.
 
Thankfully no wild fire yet...

We really do not want to hear any of you got heat stoke ok.

Treat advice to the addled masses of the DUmp. Don't stoke out from postration.

Another brutal day of scanner duty.

7. it looks like sidewalk egg cooking time
It can be a good way to teach kids the danger of a hot sidewalk

Well, nutcase, a hot sidewalk isn't dangerous unless there's a hoodrat pounding your head into it.
And even today it will not cook an egg.

5. So far so good from the Fire Fighting perspective
I covered a fire in Lakeside and my temp gauge read 40 centigrate (100+)... with all that nomex and long pants, and boots, I was drinking water like well... (I keep the jeep's gauge in Centigrade since I get it better)

The crazy bald dwarf was in her little punkin-sized nomex, but her stubby pegs hardly require long pants.

It was 40 centigrate. There are 40 centigrates in a meter, so 40 centigrates equal 60 centimeters.

One-and-one-half centimeters per centigrate.

The current heat map for the whole region is just breath taking.

And I got an app on my machine that gives me the CURRENT conditions...

Wow! Current conditions?!?

I guess you're required to have a press pass and everything to get a weather app with current conditions.

Breaking News.  It's ****ing hot outside. 

I heard someone on the radio lamenting the high temperature... in Death Valley.

It's actually sort of nice here today.  High 80's.

[GOBUCKS]

If 40 centigrates equal 104 fahrenheits, then one centimeter equals 1.73 fahrenheits.

Yup, suffice it to say that's roughly equal to five feet of hailstones, and it gets worst.

Most places have cooling centers such as malls that open their doors at 6AM to allow those with no AC to come in and sit all day.   

Good for business, by the time the shops open the people are hungry and crowd the food courts and wander about buying the small things one gets on impulse.

In a big time heat wave the city buses run people from the city for free to these cooling centers. Reverse this and in a big chill buses pick up people to take to the malls to warm up.

Worse comes to worse lob a brick through a bank window and be sure to get 3 hots and a cot  until the emergency is over.

Cooling down here too.  Highs in low 70's, lows in 50's.

I think we should blame the BFEE.

Why's the cousin making a big deal about "scanner duty"?

It's like "watching television duty."

Actually, I've just been reminded I have "laundry folding duty" in a few minutes.

I'd be worried about the temp in Death Valley if I lived there.

Pretty nice here today too. Low 80's with intermittent showers. 71 right now after the rain.

The people in the southwest really need her advice...

Yeah, I'm really sure that when people seek weather advice, rather than watching the weather channels on television or listening to it on the radio, they head to Skins's island for what they need to know.

[FlippyDoo]

I was just thinking the other day that it was summertime so why the hell is it getting hot? Now I know that's not normal. I also know to heed heat warnings.

Thanks nadin!

Oh I see Nadin's latest PSA is already over here. One of her later replies:

21. I am glad to live in the coast




But damn medical calls are...now often and the power outages have started. I can predict my local utility

Don't bother.

Well, just so everybody knows, just like the cousin has "scanner duty," I've got "star-watching duty" tonight.

See you tomorrow.

I got inner eyelid watching duty tonite myself, Coach.

Been to 29 Palms during July/August. Hot as hell and we only did most of our training at night .The average temp during the day was between 110-120 degrees . You can bet anyone that's been there longer then a week during the summer already has learned to take care of themselves with out the CBD posting her usual nonsense.

[Evil_Conservative]

STFU Nadin.

Those of us who are actually used to living in the desert can take care of themselves.  We stayed indoors all day and drank water.  We took our daughter outside when it cooled down to 108 to play with her birthday present for about 15 minutes.  No one was harmed.

It was 117 degrees around 1:30 or 2pm.  After 110, it all feels the same.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

How about dropping 3 stone's weight?

[JakeStyle]

I live in San Diego just a couple of miles east of nadin.   We were home all day today and never even turned the a/c on, it wasn't bad at all.

[GOBUCKS]

Remember nadin's warning - You have to be careful about postration in all those centigrates down there in the South  West.

I wonder how Kirk, the Las Vegas Leviathan, handles the heat. He won't work, so can't afford AC, and he's encased in those grotesque layers of blubber. He can't find size 15EEEEEE shoes for his flipperfeet, so he can't go outside on the hot pavement. He's a moonbat, so if he's suffering he richly deserves it.

14. I suggested, as an example to kids in the 7 and older set

The cooking an egg on pavement exercise...it does drive the point home.

A gent today went to the burn center after he fell on pavement.

Yeah, that happened  .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023131503#post14

So... how hot was it in San Diego yesterday?  When you say you didn't use your A/C, I am assuming it was around 80 degrees.

[JakeStyle]

Right around 78-80 yes.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

I got inner eyelid watching duty tonite myself, Coach.   

Wow, you and I have the same assignment.
