Na      Its not hot

I live in OK, but I am following friends on Facebook that live in Virginia that don't have electricity at least until Wednesday they have been told, have been without for a couple of days now.

They borrowed a generator, living/sleeping in one room and powering a window unit and a refrigerator for the ice. Nothing is open, no ice anywhere, still 87 in the house even with the window unit in the one room.

Well here in Indiana, its been extremely hot. Very little rain, maybe 10 inches below normal. Corn crops are looking sad....Wonder if food prices are predicted to rise. Everything is just burning up. Also wonder what increase in diseases that maybe related in the fall. I wonder if solar activity has anything to do with the crazy weather.

Here in NC the crops are having a terrible time of it and we usually do fairly well with rain or irrigation from all of the streams. We either get too much rain all at once and it hails or something and all the rain runs off quickly or we have temps that scorch and kill even the hardiest species.  The temps have been pretty hot but nothing like they are getting down further south with the humidity.  I feel for the people who have been without power in the Virginia area.   I believe prices on grains are already on the rise and will get worse. Now all we need is that plague of locusts that are forecast to arrive shortly.
