I like heat. It cooled down below 100 here in Texas for the first time in a while. Gonna go running here in a sec.

“Nearly 150 million Americans in 32 states are in the dome, leading to at least 22 deaths around the country as of yesterday, according to CNN. In Oklahoma alone, state medical officials believe 12 people have died from the heat.”
The heat alone does not “lead” to any deaths, as if they are inevitable just because it is hot.
Such deaths normally occur because individuals faced with high temperatures take actions they should not, or fail to take actions for themselves or others to either protect from, or compensate for, the effects of the high temperatures. Most such deaths are avoidable, in spite of the high heat.

we suffered through the same in the summers in rural nebraska
but we lacked a media that constantly whined about it.

A claustrophobia-inducing greenhouse of heat and sadness, the "heat dome" is actually a 1 million square-mile high-pressure system hovering over most of the country and pushing temperatures sky-high. Rolling my eyes over here. It's pretty dang hot (102° outside my office), but come on.
To: Free ThinkerNY
Heat Dome? New terms are so cool. Like Kinetic Military Action.
But.... wasn’t there an old term for this? Gosh, as I get older my memory seems to be failing, but wasn’t it... something like.... oh, I REMEMBER.
It was called SUMMER.

The heat is just reaching the east coast. Prepare for whining and the lamentations of their women.

It rained for a few minutes, a few days ago. The dogs were confused and wondering if I had turned on the sprinkler.

Now you’ve been brought within the zone of control ~ so whine.

What’s with this term “Heat Dome”. I’ve been around for a long time...and my bro is/was a meterorologist.
To: UCANSEE2
LOL, isn’t that the truth. The MSM has UNEXPECTEDLY discovered summer is hot. Who knew....

LOL — I am spending the weekend in Dallas looking at condos and houses for my impending relocation.
I have been in the DFW in summer’s past — I might as well experience the worst it has to offer...

1 death per 5 million people.
Getting caught in an extreme heat wave is one of the safest things you can do these days.
