I'm still waiting for my turn... it's been a long time. :)
Ian, weird weather here in So. Dak., too.
It is now 109 degrees in Rapid City. At our house, elevation about 5000 ft., it is 103. I've lived here 30 years and have never seen it this hot in the higher Black Hills. Most people around here do not have air condioning, so this is quite a shock for us.
Still better than a hurricane. Having lived in coastal Louisiana, I know about those.
Well, she's hit the forecast track point dead on. The next track point seems to have a more westerly direction to it than this one. WIll be interesting to see if Miss Emily maintains the strict WNW track.
