How much you wanna bet we'll have this "once in a thousand years" event again next summer?
It's gonna happen every year from now on. Climate change and global warming is to blame for this
The greenhouse gases will still be there, along with copious quantities of hot air from ill-informed politicians, so the answer is, "Yes."
well if the world is only 3000 years old id say its time to go
Unprecedented is the new normal
The rhetoric will need to be updated.
Strange to see Portland hotter than Palm Springs...
Same. Geography is weird.
@Jorn Paul Winkler while Climate Change is a problem. Not one or two extreme heat events is because of a warming world. It’s all about probability.
Same. I’ve lived in both places and it really is mind blowing 🤯
Yeah I live near Portland, so this is going to be fun
Voter than Central America.
People of the Northwest please be careful and heed this warning now. Have a couple gallon jugs of frozen ice, cooling cloths, ice paks, and take a cold shower if you must. I just went through a heat dome in AZ and I was caught offguard. I even had two small air conditioners and they were not enough. The coolest I could get the hose was 87 degrees with fans and two AC's. The jugs of ice and cooling cloths were a big help for me. Good Luck. So many people will be caught off guard despite the warnings. They don't believe it until they feel it and then it may be too late.
Read the Bible.
A wetted cloth draped across the body with a fan blowing on it does wonders...
@@bekennejesusdeinesundenund2427 HURRR DURRR REED DA BIBALL HURRRR DOII DOII DOII
@@bekennejesusdeinesundenund2427 Oh, that'll fix things. 9_9
How do you get caught off guard for heat?
YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA AND ITS SUMMER !!!!!!!!
“1in 1000 year event” within 50 years its probably gonna be a 1 in 1 year event
Try 10-20 years
Karen: completely normal
I bought a hybrid what else can I do
Yeah... I'm getting sick of these "thousand year events" happening annually.
JESUS CHRIST will come very soon!
Between Covid and the weather... feels like earth is trying to get rid of us. Scratching its face...
nope, jovernment are trappin us
Bc of Injustices and mistreatment of the land, and it’s inhabitants. It’s God tbh
Sekhmet has come
You have been judged for your evilness.
No Jesus want to get rid of the sinners.
@@sleepinglion1192 yes the truth has been told finally.
Oregonian here. A lot of people are scared over the heat wave. Like the reporter said many of us don't have AC mostly because it rains for most of the year and out heat waves usually last a week (lower 90 hottest 102). The year we've had droughts and there's a high chance of getting another forest fire. So its a mix of concern over people wellbeing, our own wellbeing and forest fires.
Good luck. sending prayers your way
I’m in Olympia, WA and I am very concerned. Hoping that a bunch of fans will get me thru this. 🔥🔥🔥
Hang in there. I am from southern cali, and we get that type of heat and fires regularly in the summer, and it is very hard to get used to.
Stay hydrated and safe!
I am on the Oregon coast and the weather is perfect at 76 . It might get a little warmer as the days progress but the coast is where you want to be .
@@michaelgrabianowski6567 be careful what you wish for😉
Haha I'm visiting from Texas, I'm in Portland right now. The heat followed me here damn it!
@JJ look at Texas homicide rates
LMAO I just left Washington 3 days ago to move to Texas!
Welcome to Portland. I don't know how y'all in Texas can deal with that all of the time. Most of my family is down in Atlanta and Knoxville, TN and every time I fly from Portland to Atlanta the heat and humidity are like a punch in the face.
@JJ
Kind of expected when Portland defunds the police and lets the terrorists take over.
@JJ No the summers here are very dry. It is the fall, winter, and spring where we are constantly wet. Same goes to Seattle.
Did he really just explain what a 1 in 1000 year event was??
and then said conservative when he meant liberal. lol.
yeah, happening every other year now
HEAT DOME!!
And explain it incorrectly, lol
@@JS-dt1tn I think you don't know what conservative means.
I'm going to guess on Monday everyone who was remote working is going to turn up at the office. Commercial buildings almost all have AC, homes generally do not.
@@functionatthejunction agreed. i am enjoying not wasting 3 hours a day commuting.
JESUS CHRIST will come very soon!
No AC units in homes up there? 😱
@@SicilyBlandina Yeah, average max summer temp is about 77F. An AC is an extravagant expense when that's the hottest a normal summer is.
@@bekennejesusdeinesundenund2427 One can only hope, we must all unite under the black standard of Christ. There is no kingdom greater than God's and no king greater than Christ. I await his return as well.
I live in the PNW and tried to find a portable AC unit yesterday. Not surprisingly, every store was completely sold out, with fans running dangerously low. A couple stores were also sold out of water and people were on edge. It felt a bit like 2020 again. I hope everyone affected stays safe. I've lived here my entire life and have never seen anything remotely like this. I have a feeling this heatwave will prove to be deadly, the temperatures and duration of it are nothing I have ever seen in my lifetime. Bring your pets in, check on your neighbors, and drink plenty of water. If you don't have AC, please try to find a cooling center in your area.
Why df did you wait until yesterday to find one? The forecast has been out for at least a week. If you lived in PNW for long you would know they sell out super fast in the summer
@@AnnaAparicio26 Thanks for your concern. I actually have a window unit, but wanted a portable one for the other side of the house. I count myself lucky that I even have one AC, many people don't have that luxury
20 miles north of Summer of Love Town it's 88°F, the hammock is up and kids playing in the sprinkler. It gets this hot every summer for a few days, even without 'Omega End of Days!'
Wait…
Arizona was not mentioned.
I guess they assumed it’s always hot.
Well it hit 115 yesterday.
Imagine the temps and weather in Arizona before man started settling there, it was mostly desert or scrub land, so it's actually normal
I have a friend in Phoenix who does, indeed, insist that the heat y'all are experiencing is no big deal - it's desert.
They have A/C. We don’t!
We are sitting comfortably at 100-108 with 40 humidity. A bit icky but lower temps are nice. Plus any excess rain in Colorado will help with our drought.
@@alejandromendieta5486 I was an HVAC tech in Phoenix. The temperature in the attic gets close to 140. Usually 20 deg higher than outside with no breeze. You will live bud, it’s just going to suck for a little bit. We had people waiting a whole week for a new AC install. Most just suffer through it. Good luck!👍
I worked in a weather related job on the Oregon coast for 38 years. We used to get rain forest levels of moisture almost every year. It the last decade it has become more like southern California with summers being warm and sunny. Last year was the first major forest fire in Lincoln County that I have known about. I only know of the Tillamook fire doing great damage.
Normal weather is cool and windy off of the Ocean. Summers are still cool compared to most places in Oregon, but events like this seem to me to be a clear sign of fast climate change. I may be not actually correct, but I think its something like 15 or so hottest years on record have occurred in the last 18 or 20 years. If you know the correct figures please reply.
This is Las Vegas or Phoenix summer temperatures.
People that work outside and not in a building with ac know climate change is real. We have been saying and feeling this change for years. We myself included better wake up and start a radical change in our lives. Oh by the way. I am from North Carolina.
@@dellalderman8011 Radical change? Like going back to caveman era?
@@Enjoyer.762 basically yes, its gonna be hard to be a farmer with this climate
Death Valley, one of the hottest places on earth, was 120 this weekend. That puts things into perspective.
You also gotta understand that Death Valley is a desert. If it was a humid 120 degrees, that would be so much worse. In the PNW it’s a lot more humid, so temperatures at 110 would feel like 120 - 125.
That must be why Arizona is getting unusually early summer rain coming in from the Northwest.
What part of AZ? We had our first rain in 3 months the other day and it was about 1cm.
99 in the northwest 😭 Have windows / blinds closed, a mini ac unit set up, bedroom doors shut and am currently staying cool
pray the power wont go down for any reason
@@Yggdrasill8 omg debbie downer! I’m near Seattle and surviving with fans! We have two cats, a dog and a guinea pig too!!! 😭
It was 123 last week where I live
@@Yggdrasill8 luckily, since it's usually never this hot here, not very many people have AC units
@@Indite_Biden same. My poor animals look like they are melting right now. My ferrets were slumped in front of the fan and I thought my cat was dead earlier
I knew something was up when Oklahoma City weather felt more like normal Portland this morning.
I ran out to the store this morning and by 10 we were at 85° Good thing I brought the cooler for the Popsicles and ice creams. Portland's not used to this. I've lived here for 55 year's in Portland Oregon
@@rondanew9916 yeah the high today in Portland is normal in Oklahoma during June-August (which is bad). We have a drought killing our farmlands in the west. Too many are ignoring it in my state sadly.
@@jfinity_362 climate change is real
@@rondanew9916 It’s been real...for
4.5 Billion years.
Looks like that state has been praying a lot more often good for your state.
Wicked concerned for the huge homeless population in the Pacific Northwest. Imagine detoxing in a tent on asphalt through this. Poor people.
Left coast utopia.
We have cooling shelters all over our town open to anyone. Also water is being directly distributed through many organizations here. Donations to the Red Cross help.
Yeah I live about 30 minutes from Medford (which normally doesn’t make national news ever) we had fires burn down some of the poorest communities here last summer. In towns bordering Medford (Phoenix Oregon, and talent) Simultaneously a wild fire caused me to evacuate for about 10 days. Nearly lost my house. What I’m saying is we have normal homelessness going on, compounded by loss of homes making the situation worse. It hit 115 here today. A transformer blew at a major electrical transfer station last night and a considerable portion of the valley was out of power. At least 30,000 people lost power last night spanning 6 different towns and outlying rural areas for several hours.
Good. Hopefully the left coast will dry up and blow away. Even God hates California 🤣
We ran a solar swamp cooler and had temps under 80 in the camper
Thanks for explaining "once in 1000 years."
means not normal
I liked the explanation and how he pinpointed the center location
i was confused with the math too. Nicely explained.
@@drury2d8 Are you ready for "1 in 2000 years" and "1 in 10000 years"? That's advanced math.
@@woofinu I need to go to school for that. Ill give it a pass.
Damn im originally from Spokane I currently live in Las Vegas,NV and Spokane is hotter than Vegas 🔥🔥🤯.
Sorry can you guys just move the rain area over the southwest please. It’s really unfair to keep giving rain to the Midwest. We’d appreciate some too. Actually, I’d like to speak to the manager
Recalibrating matrix , please stand by.
Okay try that ; oops wait I'm going to get this. . .
You will have to turn everything off , then back on again.
Please take it 😩
Please remind people not to leave animals and children in cars when reporting on weather like this.
The people who are going to leave children and pets in cars are going to do it anyway. There’s no warning against it. Watching a video telling them not to wont help
@@austinbevis4266 ok
It’s sad there are people need to be reminded of such things. The world we live in I guess.
People that leave kids like that have mental problems no reminding will make a difference
But don't they live there?
All the water from the southwest’s scorching heat is dumping on us in the east 🙄🙄🙄🙄 it’s currently downpouring harder than it has in years, and it’s just not stopping. Crazy.
I wish you could sent that rain back to Oregon where are lands and our peoples are used to it.
I'm sure everything is completely fine.
Ur wrong though. It has rained harder and u know it. The water underground is being displaced by magnetized lava in the Earth's crust
@@zachariahzane492 my bad I didn’t know you were sitting next to me when I was looking at the rain out my window
Right,there’s always a balance in weather.If anything the summers are actually cooler here in the east.Compared to 20 or 30 years ago.The west will get its rain eventually and the easily led will blame climate change on it.
If you lived in a place for a thousand years you would be a vampire... sleeping in a basement and only coming out at night when it is cool.
Lmao
I live in northern Idaho where it almost never gets over 90 degrees, and the entire week we will be over 100.
I was really confused by the meaning of "1 in 1000 years" and then he explained what it meant. He pointed to a spot on the map covered by the event and said, if you lived in that one spot for a thousand years, the event might occur only once. Then I understood. Thank you. So. Much.
An even more accurate explanation is that there is a 1 in 1000 chance every year, but it amounts to much the same thing.
Well, thank you for explaining what he explained. I didn't know what he meant until you clarified.
It needs to be explained because our country is full of people too dumb to understand... see covid 19 for proof.
Insurance companies have traditionally looked back in time and taken note of the frequencies of exceptional events, in order to predict and charge you for coverage of damaging events. This isn't working out too well for them, because meteorologic changes are shattering what is considered "normal" weather patterns. The earth hasn't been this warm for billions of years, in fact. One can predict very large carriers will go out of business, if they don't get their actuarial calculations correct.
Yeah, it's a statistical measure based on past events. The really sobering part is when, according to the average frequency of past events, when people say we're "due" (even "overdue") for another one, like a volcanic eruption or major earthquake.
Yo these 1 in a 1000 year events are happening everyday now
It's a 1 in 1000 year event based on data from the 70's probably. Now we've messed the climate up so much it's different
God deniers are AT WITS END trying to explain away these 1 in 1000 events happening daily and globally.
Saudi Arabia has RIVERS and LAKES now
Yes and no. The numbers are for specific regions; we had a thousand year rainfall on Mt. Elden about 4 years ago. The newspaper explained it meant three rain guages within about a 1 1/2 mile area received some particular amount of rain in half an hour that fit the 1000 year projection. We had serious flooding of roads here in Flagstaff but nothing shocking.
Oh and Florida is sinking. Half the u.s won't rain and the other half won't stop raining. This is it. I know many people can see it. So if there is something you want to do or have always wanted to do then now's your chance. Our days are numbered. Enjoy the time we have left.

This is more common than they make it seem.

I am watching this from Portland. It is awful here right now. I have to keep my apartment at about 80 degrees to prevent my AC from blow out.
What is AC? We use cold wet towels. Works like a charm.
At least its not cranked 24/7 like here in AZ. Its blowing for 6 months out of the year. Good luck Portland (walmart has a sale right now on them)
What about your carbon footprint.......???
12:22pm PDT & it's 90 degrees here in Lakewood Wa. Yep we start melting when it gets above 80 around here where we don't have much extreme weather. But E Wa is used to 100 degree temps. Heck they even have sand dunes & scorpions over there. We are a state of micro climates
Yes we do see temps over 100 in August but not 118 F in June. This is ridiculous.
Yeah it's 95° over here in Arlington, and it's only going to get worse. I'm so glad I'm off work right now, I'll be spending these next few days chilling in the Stillaguamish.
so are we but not my spot, it's always 80° and 50/50 sun rain. Warm rain.
It is supposed to be 112 in Spokane on Tuesday. Yes we are Eastside so see hotter Temps than the west. But not 112 and not low 100s until mid July or so. Feeling for all my west side family and friends. And I grew up in Parkland. Stay safe neighbor

By the way, that upper part is called, Canada!
And they do have air conditioners it gets in the 90s up there!

Everyone in the southwest: pathetic
The meteorologist gets the concept of occurrence probability wrong. A "1000 year event" is a one in 1000 chance of such an event occurring in any given year, not that such events occur on a 1000 year cycle or some such nonsense.
And the given year was THIS YEAR. However because our climate is warming so fast this kind of extreme heat heat event is even more likely then in the past.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 We can throw the concept of 10, 100, or 1000 year events out window.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 It is a climate phenomenon caused by the Pacific ocean: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridiculously_Resilient_Ridge
The climate could be cooling and it would still happen.
@@flagmichael And what do you suppose caused that ridiculously resistant ridge to form in the first place? That ridge and the current heat dome which is stuck over the Pacific Northwest precisely because the jet stream is stuck in that position. And why would the jet stream be stuck like it is? Because this has been what has happened increasingly because of warming in the Arctic. The warming Arctic is causing the sharp temperature difference that used to exist between the Arctic and latitudes to the south to diminish. That temperature difference is what used to constrain the jet stream and keep it in the north.
Now that temperature is diminishing and the jet stream is no longer constrained and it meanders south like a river. Sometimes these meanders get stuck and that is what is causing these high pressure ridges to get stuck sometimes for many days at a time.
This is happening increasingly and has blocked the movement of hurricanes as happened to Dorian in August 2019 when was stuck over the north Bahamas. Or Harvey in south Texas in 2017. That hurricane, Dorian, was one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic one of several in the last 6 years.
Lastly, the climate is not cooling. There will still be cold spikes in winter, but with CO2 and CH4 continuing to increase there will be no significant global cooling for probably centuries to come.
It USED TO BE a 1.000 year event. Now it's probably a five or tenyear event

Get a swamp cooler, if you can.. It's amazing how cold a swamp cooler gets when it gets that hot(hot and dry=colder)..only uses small amt.of electricity..
Its not that dry in the PNW. Its nothing like so cal or AZ where swamp coolers work. The PNW is fairly humid, not like Florida humid, but twice as humid as Arizona.

I'm from Indiana, where the humidity will make you melt. I had no idea people didn't have AC in the PNW!
It rarely gets over 90 degrees here.
the first day of a heat wave is the worst... as long as humidity stays low the extra days of heat are not as bad... when heat breaks and humidity rises we get energetic lightning so get ready for forest fires.

Right? It’s gonna get down to the low 60s in about a week. In July. In Georgia. Definitely weird. Rainy though. But I’d rather have that than another lengthy drought again.
I have to laugh at this, 4 years ago I was replacing a transmission under my truck in northeastern Washington, I asked the fellow helping me. It it hot? He said yup, so I got up and out and got a thermometer

The real problem is that about 40% of the country is living in denial about climate change and will continue to block meaningful legislation to try and mitigate it.

Exactly right. We are a spoiled bunch of conspicuous consumers who want to drive big, big cars, leave the lights on all night and party 24/7. Someday, we'll be presented with the check.

The Greenmail Mafia abandoned Global Warming© more than four years ago when it was proven beyond all doubt that the Mann Hockey Stick swindle was part of ClimateGate Conspiracy to alter all weather data records back to 19th C, to make it look like a warming pattern.
Then after all 26 climate models by IPCC self-appointed self-described 'experts' wildly missed on their predictions, they briefly flew the banner We Are Past the Tipping Point in Existential Climate Crisis!©, like an angry 11-year old Greta stamping her foot. But that just killed their Greenmail extortion racket. So they fell back on the THREAT of 'Climate Change!© tax extortion rubbish.

The problem is that there is no actual science (application of the scientific method) in any of it.
The scientific method:
1) State the hypothesis in the form of a testable question.
2) Develop a test methodology to test the hypothesis
3) Perform the test according to the methodology
4) Analyze the results.
Flapping gums is not science. If somebody finds a way to measure the total enthalpy of the surface water on Earth. (I would be satisfied with the oceans, even being aware that Lake Tahoe has about the same thermal mass as the entire land surface of the Earth). As long as fools jabber about land temperatures I know there is nothing of interest there.
@@flagmichael Especially fools clamoring that if we accept IPCC's $25 a gallon Carbon Taxes (IPCC's demand is closer to $7 a liter) that magically in the Future, the Planet Will Be Saved! and we'll own nothing and be happy, even KNOWING that Federal taxes and tithes have never 'gone down', they're just borrowed from our grandchildren in Mil.Gov.Sci.Edu Deficit and Debt. Forevah!
It is actually an unconstitutional 'taking', even felony fraud, to propose a Carbon Tithe Tax sent to a foreign quasi-governmental body at threat of Existential Climate Crisis!, knowing they will just spend it for their own salaries and pensions for life, while our own grandchildren eat inner tree bark and live in Tent City internment.
Our forefathers fought the foreign Royals to the DEATH, risking everything, _over a 3% tea tax!_
I live in Santa Clarita CA and it’s normal for us to see temps in the 110+ range. Last year it hit 118-120ish. Thank god for our central AC. I’m just shocked that Oregon and Washington are going to be seeing similar temps. The biggest problem is people not having ac installed. You guys are not prepared for something like this. For example I have not heard of or seen a single residence that didn’t have ac in my area. It’s also worrying the toll on your electric infrastructure. People that don’t have ac are probably frantically going out buying them and the electric load will probably be higher than ever. I really hope the grid doesn’t go out.
You mean you're shocked Seattle and Portland are going to be experiencing high temperatures? East of the cascades in WA and OR we always have triple digit summers and yes we have a/c. Just trying to raise awareness that we exist outside of the major 2 cities.
(Retired from a major electric company, field support.) The concern is mostly for how well transmission line right-of-ways are maintained. If trees are not controlled they get tall enough that hot lines will sag (the aluminum conductors expand) close enough to arc over to the trees. That rips the line off and then things can cascade. You guys had an event in 1996 that took out our power. It took hours to get everything back up. Apparently a line sagged too close to a filbert tree (I didn't know they can grow a foot a year).
Wait until Gore-Musk-Biden Mandatory EV lockdown puts 240V 80A recharger loads on all those neighborhood transformers. It'll be like 4thofJuly, and all subsidized by those who still can't afford a privileged non-equity, non-intersectionally inclusive $50,000 EV.
Omega is the End
Grew up in the Medford area and lived in Portland as an adult. It is shocking to see the high temperatures.
Temperature records broken last year are easily broken this year.
Higher temperature, higher flood rains, more tornados and hurricanes.
Its all intensifying a drought of historic proportions.
NYTimes searchable news archives by 'heat', 'drought' and 'hurricane' show FAR WORSE droughts, killing heat waves and terrible hurricanes clear back to Civil War. 20thC was the balmiest century record. Beyond that is pure conjecture, random tree rings and uncorrelated ice cores showing FAR WORSE weather for entire epochs.
And no one ever predicted the extreme variations climate change produces? oh wait ... they did!
@@MrDogonjon Ohbhorseshit. They predicted the End of the World If You Don't Tithe to Brussels is all they predicted. They proposed an end to representational democracy and 'intersectional inclusion', instead all technocrat policy decisions will be by a New Carbon Caliphate in Brussels.
The West Coast heat dam is from a Central States wedge of deep COLD unseasonal air spreading clear to Texas. The COLD mass of air caused the 3-day hot spell backup.
Also nothing from the poodled media that Greenland saw it's second biggest snow fall on record, this after the 2-sigma excursion staggering all-time snowfall in May 2021.

Heed the warnings, I am in Utah, and last week we hit a 108 degrees in Salt Lake, luckily we are a dry heat, but fluids keep hydrated you may find the basement to your home to be your best friend. Be careful outside as your energy gets zapped real quick. Also if you are driving or commuting make sure your tires are proeprly inflated, that your car has plenty of coolant, because you do not want an overheated car. And oh yes your pets make sure you have precautions set up for your dogs, and cats, you may need to bring them inside. And watch there paws because in this heat there paws can get burnt or blistered on the bottom. Definitley keep track of your pets.
Absolutely! Water is life, but mind your electrolytes as well. A bottle of sports drink for every gallon of water is a good idea.
My family in Red Bluff California deals with 116+ degrees. My. 63 and 65 year old parents go work in the field in that heat.. I don't know how they do it.
I used to live in places with above 100 degrees weather and no AC. The way to keep cool without spending a lot of money is to take cold showers and use fans. I used to take cold showers 3-4 times a day and always have a fan next or directly blowing winds at me.
It will be interesting if we start to see the beginning of internal climate migration in the US.
Well, maybe now they will think twice before all moving to the NW
It has alrrady started. Here in Montana we're being inundated with Californians.
I think you mean horrifying.
@@Loganl1980 sorry man
@@psmaulehlien exactly. I was trying to be moderate in expressing my fear....
Yellowstone is going to blow
animals should be brought inside, too hot for them as well.
I live in Tacoma, WA. We hit 104 yesterday and are supposed to get hotter today (monday). My wife is visiting family in Hawaii and for once I'm jealous of their COOLER weather.
Countries (still) in the Paris Agreement are trying to prevent this shayt.
We were back in it as soon as Biden got in office.
I grew up on a farm where we were bucking bales in 100 degree heat all day and into the night. Then we would go into a stuffy barn and load the bales in there. This is nothing unless you already have health problems.
Exactly, people these days are soft wimps. I grew up on a farm too working in 100 degree fields in summer and shoveling snow in below zero temperatures in winter.
I remember the predictions about the jet stream becoming stuck, stalling weather patterns we are accustomed to. Very bad days ahead.
Not use to this in the PNW.
Time to hibernate for the Summer 😂😂😂

at 16:50 just amazing
Having a cool wave in the south, usually it’s extremely hot by.
WhereI live, specifically northeast of the Arabian peninsula, it reaches 126 Fahrenheit but rarely exceeds 130. No joke, but we are used to it since it's the hottest region in the world. But always stay hydrated!
Tell me they don't want yall to know the Icelandic volcano is causing this...
I live in Oregon but I have central A/C thank goodness
Here in Central Michigan, we've had 8 inches of rain in the last week, and are currently under tornado warnings. Maybe Arizona could meet us half-way.
Lots of rain in Detroit and in pontiac
J.R. Ewing - ''ahh in Auckland City 1010 now and it humide and hot as it suppose too be Winter. Also here in new zealand we have had 5 full moons in five nights streight . ahh do not think that is a normal . It get dark at 5 p.m. so see what the moon is in 2 hours time.
In Northern Arizona we got the tail of the flow around the bubble: high in Flagstaff 72 and a couple tenths of an inch of rain. I didn't know why the rain was coming from the Northwest instead of the Southwest. Still nice today, 81 now. It was in the 90s a week ago.
yeah being a mailman right now pretty much sucks
But yeah, tell me again how the climate isn’t changing…
People freak out when they don't plan
Now where are those people who were saying: "That's why you don't live in a desert."
Patrolling the Mojave will almost make you wish for a nuclear winter.
My daughter and family are near Seattle. Please be careful and take great care.
How do they know it's a 1000 year event? Answer: THEY DONT
This is a number based in statistics of recorded weather events. That is how expectations are gauged, by statistics. That is how unlikely this type of event is. You taking it literally is stupid. There is a 1 in 1000 chance of this ever happening.
Go back to FB
I’m here, it sucks but relax.
This story scares me. It is already probably too late for me to say this, but I feel that it is important to hear. I have watched for 67 years while Americans sit in their cars waiting in line for toxic junk food. All or most with their engines running. Diesel trucks running, while in the post office. We have become numb to the opening of plastic covered everything. Angry drivers sit in hours of heavy traffic every day in most cities.
Unless Americans get out of their hundreds of millions of planet destroying cars and stop eating hundreds of millions of animals every day and stop purchasing plastic coated everything, every day we are looking at the downfall of the latest world power. I sit and watch while the earth is being plastic coated.
When the lights go out for lack of hydro power, and the water is no longer coming down the pipes in the west, and the mighty forests of the west are burned down in a few decades it is going to get rough very fast.
America must be a hundred years behind most of Europe in transportation. Its going to take a long time to even convince Americans to consider mass transit as a national alternative. Let alone due anything meaningful about it. Endless financial growth is what matters in America. Planet killing growth is occurring right in front of us.
And that is only one problem.......HMmmm, game over America??? Probably so.
Maybe cause and effect, nature, the angels or the space men or whatever powers that be in this universe are getting ready to solve the problem.
Wow I guess being empty inside because we worrie about thing that has no life food water air love everything else is a add blessing
Here I am in Washington state dying with this heat.It is insanely hot.I just have a small fan.ugh Make this go away.
Sasquatch are gonna be shaving 🪒 each other!!! 😳😂🤣😂🤣

@@robertmarmaduke9721 2020 blm was/is wayyyy worse
It was absolutely brutal. I live in the willamette valley area of Oregon & I went to the store earlier in my SUV with no A/C & couldn't wait to get back to the house where we have home A/C. It was like an oven, and there was zero wind blowing & the wind we did have was hot air. I could barely touch my steering wheel,it burned my hands. It got up to 114° where I was. Holy Hell,I never experienced anything like that!!

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
@SJ S lol
Thank God I have central AC.
I been keeping my curtains closed and drinking plenty of a ice water.
Please stay safe and cool. 🤓
I was out on the coast for a weeklong vacation with friends, so I missed most of this massive heatwave. Apparently it hit 116+ in Portland. When I came back home it was still 113.
If you're rioting in Portland or Seattle today, be sure to stay hydrated, and take a shade break once in a while.
LMAO! Oh hi... Mr. Deflection! Who cares if the the Earth is cooking alive as long as there's "leftist" protesting as you right wingers call it a "riot"?
116 degrees. IN WASHINGTON. If this heat wave were over death valley, easy record breaking temperature. 150+.
This is our future. I'm glad my son decided not to have any children. I couldn't imagine looking at a grandchild and knowing all the devastation they will witness in their lifetime
WORST IN 12000 YEARS..1200 years ago there were no cars
But lots and lots of major volcanic eruptions - far greater in gas volume than all of the internal combustion engines on the planet today.
The Sun use to look Yellow now it's looks Pure White
There was massive air pollution in the 20thC. What you're seeing is 50 years of successful Clean Air Act, and 20 years of Move US Manufacturing to CHINA. The sun in Beijing is raw sienna glaze on marigold.
JUST KEEP LOOKING.....
The Sun has always been white. The higher in the sky the Sun is, as well as the higher your elevation, the more white it looks, since the less atmosphere sunlight has to travel through, the less extreme certain wavelengths of light are scattered compared to others.
