Here it is.

Though the organization won’t officially record it as a record-breaking temperature until 5 p.m. Friday, the temperature reading taken at 3:53 p.m., which represents the hourly high, showed a temperature of 124 degrees, the organization said.

Sacramento's previous high for today was 105.

It's currently 106 and the forecast was expected to be ~111, so a considerable jump in the record. Although I'm not sure if it is going to get that hot or not.

about 7pm on the 3rd, we had a devastating storm hit. Golf ball size hail and 80 mph winds. Lots of damage. Some are saying it was a tornado. Boat docks capsized, buildings destroyed, lots of broken windows, etc.

Of course, hail is ice and when it melts it gets smaller. But not around here, our neighbors are now saying it was baseball size, so it has gotten bigger!

I drove through Branson right around that time. Probably just a tad after the big stuff, but it was still raining hard. Clouds looked nasty all the way from Clinton to right before we got close to Branson. We were headed down to a place called Flippin, Arkansas. Stayed in a place right on the White River about 8 to 10 miles down river from Bull Shoals Dam. Beautiful area. Water was crystal clear in the River.

Isn't that where Ranger bass boats are manufactured? Sounds like a great time.


Interesting experience with the insurance company so far, totally different than last years storm on the 14th of July that did so much damage.

They hired a photographer to come out and take pictures instead of sending an adjuster. He was here over 2 hours after getting here at 6 on a Sunday.

Holy shit that hail did a lot of damage.

I think that is correct. At least that is what I heard anyway. It was a good time! You guys that live from Springfield on down to where we were visiting are living in some very beautiful country.

Sorry about the hail damage though!

Thanks, yeah it is beautiful country for sure. This is number 4 in our life of major storm damage and it is no less depressing that any other time.

Seeing all you stuff destroyed or damaged sucks and the thought of having to deal with the ordeal of getting all the repairs done is not much fun either.

Had a guy down today from the rehab company the insurance company had referred, he was great. Even put some duct tape on the holes in the skylights of my boathouse for me.
