108 Degrees

My phone app says it's 106 right now in south STL... Weird thing is it says it "feels like" its only 101 with a 20mph wind out of the west...Guess that means there's a wind chill?

Wind chill in June who would have thought? :-)

Supposed to cool off to 92 tomorrow, then start climbing to near 100 again for the foreseeable future.

I can't remember it being as bad as it is here. Some of the trees have their leaves hanging wilted and most of the vines are beginning to show the same symptoms.

No word about fireworks, but in an area that is heavily wooded and with a lot of underbrush on vacant areas, there is no way the volunteer fire department can handle a fire.

I think the powers that be here best get over their attack of negligence and wake up before half the town goes up.

I was able to get around a little yesterday and seeing grass dry and trees already starting to look like fall it will not take much to start fires. I love my fireworks but love my house more. I think the counties just need to ban fireworks all the way this year. Hate to say it but living through some nasty fires sometimes fun needs to be set aside in the interest of safety concerns for all.

Some of the minicipatiles around here have canceled fireworks because of the dryness. I can't even remember the last time it rained here. I have heard that fireworks sales are down this year, which is a good thing as far as fires goes.

There's still gonna be some da that will set them off.

I'm like others I like to watch fireworks but I don't want to see someone's house go up in flames nor to I want to see any of our forest or wooded area go up in smoke either. One forest fire in the state is enough.
