It’s probably reasons like this that made people hate the word “moist” so much.

Speaking of excessive moisture...
Flash flooding in Michigan’s U.P.
The wife went to college in this town, so she’s been watching with interest.
Something similar happened near Sault Ste Marie about 5 years ago, too.

I went to school there, too, and have walked that road in the top picture many times (it's hard to see in the picture, but it's very steep). It's unreal. Houghton is just not a place you would expect to have flooding like this. They can deal with massive amounts of snow, but not this much rain.

We're in the middle of a mild snap, if there is such a thing. It's been very pleasant the last week or two, and even the next 10 days on the forecast have the highs never going above 94, and some days dipping into the 80s! This is the life.
Still qualifies as "Weird," though.

I let my dog out this morning, and they yard was socked in with heavy fog. But there was a brilliant blue sky above.
We've had beautiful summer weather -just a tad too hot, in the 27-29°C - for the past two weeks, and no sign of stopping yet. Too dry for the crops, I guess, but otherwise perfect. I don't understand, this has never happened before. Normally we'd have a few days like this, then a thunderstorm. Definitely weird.
Weird weather alert: the Phoenix Metro area last night broke the record for highest low temperature ever recorded.
It never got below 94F overnight. It has never been that hot overnight in PHX, ever.

Wow, It will stay 90 till midnight this time of year, but DAMN! that sounds dangerous.
Would be cooler (hotter?) at 128 F/128K miles/128 mph because then you'd have approximately 28 seconds to take the photo of all the numbers converging before the odometer changed (assuming the temperature remained constant, of course).

I, for one, am curious what would happen at 88 mph. It's hot enough, the vehicle is probably already leaving a flame trail.
The Ambient Air Temperature Sensor in my HHR is located on the frame, right behind the bumper and right below the right headlight.
122F is probably more of a reflection of what the temperature of the road surface is than it is the actual air temperature.
Oh, by the way, it's still 106F outside as I type this at 9:30 PM AT.

Welp. That was interesting.
Sky started to get dark, then I got the Dust Storm Warning on my iPhone.
Then I looked outside, and the wind was blowing and the air was brown.
And then... the rain started.
I swear the rain was near parallel to the ground at times. The road in front of our place turned into a river, with the speed bumps turning into rapids.
I had to run out and close the windows and sunroof* of my car so the rain wouldn't come in, even though it was under the carport - because it was raining that hard.
Fortunately, all that happened was our recycling bins got blown into the backyard, and one of the bins on our patio blew over. Our porch got soaked, but everything was basically intact.

* - My sunroof was tilted open, not wide open - leaving your sunroof open like that? In Arizona? Are you nuts?

Tiny island being formed from the lava flowing into the ocean.
Dude, my electric bill here is 280-330 ... every month.Welp, it happened. I was warned it would happen, and after the gawdawful heat we had this month, it happened.
A $250+ electric bill.
Also another instance of EVERYBODY DUCK!

I'll be honest, those companies have been repeatedly warned about safety issues with regard to the lava and eruption.
