A little about my self -

I joined weather Underground in August of 2005 right after they opened the blogging feature. I have been a weather hobbyist since the middle 60's when I lived on the west coast of Florida, north of the Tampa Bay area. I currently live in a small community in central Illinois.

I have been through numerous Hurricanes during my life time. The worse being Hurricane Camille in August 17,1969, A Cat 5, where the eye passed over the location I was at. That being Biloxi, Ms when I was in the USAF stationed at Keesler AFB.

I'd like to dump a bucket of ice on you two:) You're both over 100! Comfortable 91ºF here. Humidity is down to 94%.. Member Since: August 10, 2005 Posts: 145 Comments: 29954

The feel like temp with a 70º dew point is between 114 - 116º .. it is dangerous be outside for any length of time ... Member Since: August 17, 2005 Posts: 327 Comments: 24456

163. whitewabit 9:11 PM GMT on July 06, 2012
Skye ... the bucket of ice would be welcomed ... I was only outside for 40 minutes and the heat completely drains you of energy ... it even takes your breath away like there is not enough O2 in the air .. and if you are working in the direct sun the feel like temp is over 125 degrees ..

Wab, I would willing send you some of our rain and colder temps. It is the British Grand Prix on Sunday and this is the headlines today.... "Up to 20,000 ticket holders are being asked to stay away from Saturday's British Grand Prix qualifying sessions at Silverstone. Heavy rain affected thousands of race fans on Friday and left half of the circuit's car parks unusable. Officials want to get them back into use for Sunday's race." Silverstone is about ten miles from me, and my grass is sodden - imagine fields used as car parks. :( Member Since: October 29, 2005 Posts: 254 Comments: 22597

skye .. only if it was low Cat 1 ... we could use the amount of rain it would drop ... TV was showing fields of corn in S. IL and they were not more then 2 foot high .. a total loss ! One farmer said he hadn't gotten any rain since April 14 ... Member Since: August 17, 2005 Posts: 327 Comments: 24456

167. whitewabit 6:29 PM GMT on July 07, 2012
Sandi .. Was just reading (I read the BBC News online everyday) about them telling ticket holders to stay home as all the usable car parks were full ... you must be really soggy.. Hope there won't be any flooding from all that rain .. Member Since: August 17, 2005 Posts: 327 Comments: 24456

168. whitewabit 6:35 PM GMT on July 07, 2012
101.3º is what my temp gauge is saying right now and feel like temps of 109º and about 130º if you are in direct sunshine ... Hopefully we will cool down tonight and only have temps in the mid 80's for Sunday ... as the cool front moves through .. Member Since: August 17, 2005 Posts: 327 Comments: 24456

yesterday (Saturday) the temperature dropped from 104 to 75 in about 30 minutes after about a half inch of rainfall with strong winds knocked down a tree across a street. I see forecast for 100 or better temperatures again in mid July. Member Since: May 24, 2006 Posts: 43 Comments: 36917

182. whitewabit 9:18 PM GMT on July 11, 2012
At night you can hear the corn making noise as it un-twists its leaves to try to pick up any moisture that is in the cooler over nite air .. and then twisting back up before the heat of the next day as the sun rises ... trying to conserve as much moisture as possible ... it is really sad the way the corn looks around me ...

Hi, Wab. I know what you mean about the corn looking so bad. It was like that for us a couple of years ago. Stunted, knee high, brown stuff when it should have been head height or taller and lushly green. I've been seeing reports on TWC the past few days about the drought and how it's affected the crops in the Midwest. As well as how it's going to affect everyone's grocery bills. We've got rain in the forecast all this week. WE had rain off and on all this past week. Wish I could send you some. I'm afraid that it will be too late, though, and wouldn't do a whole lot of good. Still, it might salvage something. Member Since: October 7, 2005 Posts: 208 Comments: 21677

185. Skyepony (Mod) 2:54 PM GMT on July 14, 2012
I'm sunburnt so bad I can sympathize with the corn.. Member Since: August 10, 2005 Posts: 145 Comments: 29954

Bug .. even if we get normal rainfall the rest of the summer, the corn and bean crop is already stunted and yields in some fields to the south of me will be 0 bushels .. Member Since: August 17, 2005 Posts: 327 Comments: 24456

its been so hot here my green tomatoes are being cooked on the vine .. have lost 40% from the heat ... Member Since: August 17, 2005 Posts: 327 Comments: 24456

191. Skyepony (Mod) 9:16 PM GMT on July 14, 2012
Can you finish cooking those green tomatoes inside? We shouldn't have burned like that. Missing ozone or that flare or something. Member Since: August 10, 2005 Posts: 145 Comments: 29954

Quoting whitewabit: its been so hot here my green tomatoes are being cooked on the vine .. have lost 40% from the heat ... Dear God! Not the 'maters! Have you tried dipping them in buttermilk and cornmeal first? You could at least salvage the crop with vine-fried green tomatoes. (Sorry.... I couldn't resiste.)

Rain? Even .4 is better than nothing. Maybe it will prime the pump. Member Since: October 7, 2005 Posts: 208 Comments: 21677
