spent last weekend in Ridgecrest, California.

I was a little alarmed when the crawl on the Weather Channel indicated that the predicted high for the day would be 113 degrees. I LOL'ed when they helpfully added that the chance of rain was 0%.

The heat index is unknown, and the dew point might have been 78 or better, but it was irrelevant. I don't remember ever being sweaty, and we were outside plenty. The transition from the air conditioned car (on max cool, high fan, always) to the outside was like when you open the oven door and lean down into the onrushing shockwave of heat as you take the pizza out. It was just a physical blast of meanness. Gah.

record high for the day yesterday, 95 degrees, eclipsing the old record by 6 degrees, and second highest nighttime temp, never got below 69 degrees.

Gah.

Mathew, in biblical tradition, will wipe another evil extremist creation from the face of the earth - in Gitmo. Even Obama could not destroy that evil extremist prision.

My buddy in Bethany Beach Delaware was trapped in his house until late this afternoon.

ORLY? Seemed as though we lucked out. Wasn't as bad as Rehoboth and Dewey. Year round neighbor called to report minor flooding - which almost always happens when you are only 1-5 ' above sea level. Nothing really that unusual.
Where in Bethany is your friend? I'm curious if he/she is more inland than our place.

There is nothing current about the weather here. It's been the same for the past days..... constant rain

Matthew rainfall totals.

I can't even imagine 20 inches of rain. It landed most heavily on the coastal plains, which I guess is good because it wasn't falling in the mountains and rushing down the slopes, tearing up the valleys. But when it all lands on flat land, it takes a while to flow to the ocean.
