I hope, besides being arrested, they also have to pay for the damages and the emergency services to deal with it they caused. California's been on fire for weeks, we've got drought conditions (are we actually in a drought? we had water restrictions kick in yesterday) and people are out starting campfires where they shouldn't be camping.

Don't think so, War. They most likely won't be held to the same accountability a citizen here would be. California really, really needs to get their act together and get a good fire fighting fleet of aircraft manned and ready year round. Air power is the only way to fight all these fires.

Yeah we do Bee. I've never figured out why we don't have all that and instead has to borrow from other states. It's not like we don't have enough fires here! We've had lightening and some thunder this evening. Dark clouds and a few sprinkles. We've had emergency broadcast warnings all afternoon for flash flooding out towards Edwards AFB. It was actually much cooler today but the humidity is still pretty bad.

Today was more of the same. Flash flood warnings, though for San Bernadino County instead of Kern County. We got sprinkles for a bit, just enough to mess up the windsheild on my car. It was quite a bit cooler than it has been, but still pretty humid.

It's nearly 80 degrees here at 9:45 a.m. I don't know how anyone can enjoy living in constant heat! I'm tired of feeling sticky and stinky. Give me a blizzard any day over this heat and humidity!! I'm debating retiring to Siberia or somewhere else nice and chilly.

Any one in Texas located between Brownsville and Corpus Christi? Hope the hurricane doesn't do a lot of damage. Keep your heads down and be safe.

July 24 Hurricane Dolly brought central Texas some much needed rain today. We are now keeping alert for tornados.

We have rain in our forecast in the DFW area, but I don't think they will make it up that far without breaking apart. Just hoping some of the storms will stay together to reach here, no matter how tiny.

It's so annoying that our area hasn't closed schools yet. They start tomorrow in our area. Other than that, all is well my way. My house is prepared. We are veterans at this stuff, unfortunately.

Well thanks to the tropical storm down south Iowa has awesome weather for August. Upper 70s, lower 80s, low humidity [for us]. Usually in the 90's with high humidity about now. My thoughts and prayers are to those of you in the path of the storm.

Thank you. So far in my area, it's just somewhat strong wind and rain. We're snug like bugs in our house. Holly, how are you doing?

Hiya Grooch! All is well. We had no problems at all. (lots of rain and wind) The main problems with this storm were inland. It's got to be the slowest moving storm!!
