That hurricane Burl that just went through Jamaica was the strongest this early in the season on record.

Otabill every summer it gets hotter across the country. I have seen temps in Phoenix , Lake Havasu ect and really wonder how you guys live in that heat. Vegas had the hottest June on record and last year they had the hottest July on record. Make you wonder what it will be like in the future. Climate change is real.

Just got back from a shopping trip. It was hot as it is here in the summer. I didn't think it was this hot (see link). I usually do out after the sun sets. Air-Conditioned house to air-conditioned car to air-conditioned store (or casino), etc. Could be worse; ice, snow, or here, blowing dust, etc, [urlhttps://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=9047341816 ... 2207520000][/url]

Uh-oh! Why worry about just hurricanes? How about tornados? Shark attacks? Are sharks attacking humans more because of global warming? Rats? Where does it end? How did this well meaning forum post become the Weather Channel?
