2021 - How's the Weather Where You Are

Been threatening to rain for the last 24 hours, yesterday it was black as night from 5pm, very Humid yet still no rain.. but the city closest to my DD 90 minutes away from here has completely flooded...cars sunk under the water etc...:eek:
I'm sitting here thinking...which is worse? All this flooding going on or the 3 digit heat wave some of us are experiencing.
The weather man last evening on the news said that we've had 23 days of 3 digit weather.
The potential for fires is there, and plus we lose our power when it gets that hot. Everyone and their mother is cranking up their air conditioning. 106 here today.

I read today that Death Valley (California) is supposed to be 130*!
 
After the record setting triple digits of a few weeks ago, we are now enjoying typical summer weather for this area. Clear and sunny with highs in the mid 80s f during the day and in the mid 50's f at night.

Area farmers are busy cutting and bailing hay.
 

We've had some doozies of thunder and rain last night and today. The power is out for a lot of people. I am hoping I don't lose power because if the power goes I have no water (on a well), not to mention no air-conditioning. My daughter is out of power and feeling sorry about having bought groceries yesterday, waste of money for the things like milk that can't sit for 24 hrs without refrigeration.
I am surrounded on three sides by corn fields, and I think the corn is very happy about getting some rain, tho at the moment the corn plants all have a slight tilt toward the south (the storms have been coming from the north).
 
3AM storms woke me....

the heavy smoke from western wildland fires has again invaded the deer lodge mt valley, this is a very large valley so to have this much haze makes it rather hard on some people...

this is the junction between i-90 and state hwy 12

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! this is getting monotonous. I don't think the standing water in the cellar is ALL from the washing machine that leaked. So much rain that the plastic sheet I put in the attic until the roofer can come didn't hold it all back - got a little more stain on the upstairs wall.
 
Mid 80s again today and for the coming week. Maybe a little rain later today. I think I'll try to talk by SO into a beach day tomorrow. Ormond Beach?? Or go the other way to St Pete??
