It drains ya and is exhausting, the older you are the worse it is. Make sure the electrolyte levels are up and lots of salt and fluids, coming home to AC helps recovery quite a bit.
I think the worst is over: thank goodness!! July and August are notoriously the worst in Southern Mississippi. We are getting some relief now. It’s crazy cuz it’s still hot , like 90 degrees but coming down from 100 it’s so much better. I told him he should get a t shirt that says I survived a southern Mississippi summer. It’s true war, he is my hero.

It's 83F here on the Sandhill (NW Florida) and it feels like fall. Our 10 day has some nights in the high 60's next week. We may just live through this summer after all.

I we got cyber attacked at our hospital. There were rumors it would take 4-8 weeks to rebuild. So I saw a temp gig in Panama City and was gonna go help out during our down time but they got the system back up at my job before I got a chance. What’s Panama City like? It looks very remote and touristy. After living in a town like that recently in SW Colorado, I can now say I don’t want to live in remote tourist towns that our super secluded anymore.

This map should look a lot different in 10 years as EVs begin to dominate light vehicle transportation and other fossil fuel pollution is reduced by renewables and more heating is done by heat pumps. There are more benefits than CO2 reduction with EVs and renewables, other pollutants are reduced too, both in the air and in the water, no oil, transmission fluids, or gasoline leaking either.

The drainage basin does not connect to a river. An endorheic lake will temporarily contain water. The best one can hope is that the local aquifer enjoys a tall cold one before the lake evaporates.
I'm sure a lot of rain ended up in the drainage system to Meade, but it would take a lot of rain to top it up. I think California might need to do a bit more civil engineering to hold onto more of its rainwater. Changning weather patterns might see more rain in the region and a lot of it was lake bottom a few thousand years back.

Not really. Most of the rain fell in the Great Basin. The Colorado runs by but not through the closed loop of hydrological divides that enclose the Basin.

Some fell in the Mojave. I was watching impressive strings of t-storms on radar. But the Mojave (sporadically) drains into the river
below the dams.

So that teraton of rain Hilary (soak her up!) dropped on the western Mojave bypasses the dams.

(edit) correction. The western Mojave doesn’t. However I watched Las Vegas and surrounding get hammered.

You know the region, but it rained over a wide area and Meade is not that far from Las Vegas and the roads were rivers there.
