I now know what the term "Scorching Hot" means. The heat here, combined with the high humidity, makes it almost unbearable. I saw a story on the news tonight about a man who has had knee surgery and has been unable to work for several weeks. The doctors predict it will be at least 2 more months before he can walk. He's been living for over a month with no water and no electricity in his house. Neighbors have been bringing him water, but he said he's been having to sleep outside on his porch because it's so hot in his house, and that's very dangerous. According to the weatherman, there's no relief in sight for now. I've lost count of how many straight 3-digit temperature days we've had, most of them 105 or 106. Don't even want to think about the heat index!
