Andie Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 92, feels like 103Humidity 58%Dewpont 75 Monster storm plowed through Dallas this morning. High winds damaged trees. It hit at rush hour and the highways were a snarl.Odd to be in Ft. Worth with overcast skies and a cool breeze off the back of that storm while Dallas got hammered. So weird this summer. No rhyme or reason to it a storms are dipping further south than normal. Usually the jet stream stops this and gulf air pushes up from the south. My area usually sits in this hot no man's land in the summer. Instead, were participating in the action.

Going to be brutal on the jobsite today, I'll be lifting/laying granite pavers until 5pm.And here I thought you were a desk jockey, surrounded by a/c and several computer screens. Sorry 'bout that.......my bad.

Phil Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Wow, nice Phil!Thanks man. Storm itself was rather tame as it weakened dramatically before it got here, just heavy rain w/ ~30mph winds locally. Got a much needed soaking, though, around 0.75" I'm guessing. Will check the gauges later.

Andie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 We're all around the 100* marker. Heat index higher. Our humidity is at 73-75% and must seem like a lovely day to you Phil. Love the thunderhead photo and lightning strike ( with appropriate exclamation). Stay safe out there. That's just way too close. I've experienced that and you smell the ozone and the hair rises on your arms. It hits so fast you don't have time to think about dying.
