British Columbia is getting rocked too...they had a town at 121 then it burned down.

We have some friends that had to move to a hotel because it as 85 degrees in their house at night.

They were saying on the news here in KC that the Missouri River is down to about 60% of its normal flow because of drought in the upper Missouri River Basin. Montana, Dakotas, etc., down to around Sioux City, IA. We've had a lot of rain here in KC, so that's pretty weird.

Haboob hit downtown Phoenix last night.

Yep. Good luck that way.

Most rain I have had for a long time.

Tornado watch until 9pm. Looks like I might go chasing tonight.
