Brutally hot here in Western NY, too. My electric bill was $99.00 last month because my window a/c was on in the living room all day and the one in my bedroom was on all night pretty much through the entire months of July and August. My normal electric bill is around $45.00. I guess it's pretty cheap though, considering one or the other was running 24/7!

Hukd, I'm jealous! My electric bill was $193.29 last month, and I don't have air conditioning! (And it's lower because it's summer!)

Oh, I'm not complaining about my bill! $3.00 a day to stay nice and cool is great! I do have a gas stove, and only have my TV on during the day and 1 living room lamp on when it gets dark. My hot water tank is natural gas, so really I don't use a whole lot of electricity. When I got my bill, I was worried that it would be crazy. I was VERY happy at the bill!

Today was the first day of school here....poor kids and teachers! Some schools were actually let out early because of the heat. I have never heard of that happening in Maine before! It was oppressive and horrible today. There was an air quality alert for pollution, too. Dfen, good luck with Earl. That will cause a nice cool down here, but nobody knows how intense it will be.

Hurricane warnings have been issued for parts of Massachusetts with Tropical storm warnings are issued for other parts of Massachusetts. I believe that I right on the line of Hurricane warnings and Tropical storm warnings. One thind is for sure we are going to get a lot of rain. and I hope that anyone that lives in North Caroline and Virginia stay's safe tonight.

It was in the 90s again today, a little bit less humid than yesterday with a hot breeze. They are predicting scattered thunderstorms overnight. Dfen, stay safe! TVCHers in NC and VA stay safe, too! Hurricane Earl will arrive here sometime tomorrow evening. We aren't near the coast, so shouldn't see much of it, just steady rain and some wind.

It rained during the night. Now it's more humid than before, and the blackflies are out looking for human blood. Yuck! Twiggyish, you have experience that has caused the doom and gloom about hurricanes. I think FL storms are very scary!!!

Mictay, we're near Mt Katahdin. Good luck to your son tonight. My oldest daughter used to be terrified of thunderstorms.

Thanks he is already in a tizzy,i'm trying to keep him away from the news and the weather channel.His bedtime is 9:30 so i'm hoping it will hold off. My in-laws are in dover-foxcroft.Being so close to the coast i'm hoping the news is right and it's only wind and rain.

We have a nice, strong breeze now. It feels so good after all the humidity. Earl had been downgraded to a category 1 the last time I checked. I wonder if it has caused any trouble in Dfennessey's area. I hope not!
Mictay. Thank you, ((Twiggyish)).

TS Earl has passed through, dumping some much needed rain. Now the air is fresh, the sun has broken through, and it's a lovely, breezy day, in the 60s.
