Ditto for Davis and Vacaville. The smoke is better today but the smell is really strong.

Our wind has quieted to 16.3 mph gusts and it isn't quite as hot (98ºF) as San Antonio right now at 103.8ºF / 39.9 ° with 34% Humidity. Yesterday we were officially declared a disaster area due to the prolonged dryness/drought/fire hazard conditions. HOT nothing less that the 90's on the 2:50pm CT map.

The tornado WATCH is over now. Only got a few drops of rain and a couple of lightning sitings. It is very still outside. My cat has not left my side for the past hour or so. Radar shows storm in Arizona too.

I have to say it is a great day to be a New Englander. Clear skies 80 degrees and NO humidity. I wish the rest of the year could be this perfect

Enjoy your day, Dfennessey! Oh, forgot to mention that the "Beach Front" area of Barstow appeared to take the brunt of the storm that arrived from Vegas.

Dang it Dfennessey, take your stinking weather back! I woke up at about 7 this morning just sticky wet and had to turn on the cooler. It's overcast, it's humid (and I'd just told someone we usually don't get much humidity here,) and it's hot but I don't know how hot cuz I haven't checked the thermometor yet. I can handle the heat but I hate the humidity.

do not worry Wargod, the humidity is comming back tomorrow. I am just enoying today. Tommorrow, I will be lucky enough to go to Martha's Vineyard (a little island off the shores of Massachusettss) and it is always cooler there.

I can't believe it's July 11th and it's still smokey outside! And now it's humid and overcast. This is the absolute worse California summer that I can remember.

Wargod it is a fun trip and the good part about it is we take a bus down to the boat and the boat ride is about 45 minutes and a lot of cute shops to go shopping in

Minus the boat ride (I get seasick) that really does sound like fun, Dfennessey! Nick, this is the most miserable summer I remember in years. Last one this bad was the summer I was pregnant with Kota (she was born Sept 14) and our cooler broke. Even the middle of the night is hot hot hot. I can't even complain about the kids spending most of their time inside cuz even when the sun goes down its still 100+ outside.

I'm in Texas in the DFW area, and it's hot and humid and just icky. I always forget how summer is until it hits every year. It's 96 right now, suppose to get to 100 tomorrow. The humidity is insane with rain everywhere but here. I keep telling myself that I have seen worse summers here, but then I remember August hasn't even hit yet.

Urgent plea: There is a fire in our vicinity and the link that the Dahlink Chilliwilli gave me no longer works. Is there anyone out there brilliant enough to find a link to Orange County Fire Department???

Beek_ is the one you are looking for? It was the best I could find with Google. Orange County Fire Authority

Thank you, Msbullwnkl. That's not it, but thank you. I think they must have gotten it. We got two helicopters just before it got too dark and I'm not seeing much smoke or activity. I'll keep looking...both here and outside. Sure do appreciate your help, though.

Just read my earlier post and I should clarify that I'm looking for a scanner link...one in which I can hear the OCFD radio calls.

One of my neighbors got the skinny: it was a group of people illegally camping in Holy Jim Canyon. Guess when they went to roast their weenies the fire got away from them. They've been arrested. The fire is under control and will be out within an hour. whew!
