No. That's Chicago. I don't think Reno has ever seen a 75 degree dewpoint in its history. It shows Reno because that's my other saved city. 96 degrees in Reno would actually be somewhat comfortable and you'd be able to turn off the air and open the windows when the sun went down and the temp dropped into the 60s.

That makes more sense. Humidity that high in the high desert seemed odd...but these days nothing is surprising.

Shit's about to get real here. No red but it's supposedly dropping between 1-2 inches of rain in a short time and it's heading my way

I've been in the desert for about a year and a half now, and it still is comical to me to hear people talk about 2" of rainfall as if that's a lot.


I've been in West Texas for a little over a year and a half now.
and it's still amazes me how little rain is considered "a lot" out here, and just how little it takes to flood things.
so damn drastic from one of (typically #1 or #2) rainiest cities in America to a damn desert.

this sandbox I'm currently residing in has gotten less than 4" of rain so far on the year.

back home, we got 8.5" in January.
and again in March
got over 10" in July

April, May, and June each had between 6" - 7.5"

Odessa, TX
Phoenix, AZ
Columbus, OH

have all combined for a little under 32" on the year.

Montegut, LA is just over 52" on the year.

6” of rain here in last 48 hours
just over 7” since Friday.

needless to say, the desert is flooding

We got really fucked up because of rain from the hurricane which caused issues from the dams. Asheville is blocked in. There is no way in or out right now. A little area, Chimney Rock has been completed wiped out. We had over 50 people rescued from a hospital roof by helicopters in Erwin, TN. The whole city of Newport,TN had to leave because of the dangerous situation with the dams. Interstates 26 and 40 are shut down in areas regarding Tennessee and North Carolina.

A lot of these pictures are 5 mins to 20 mins from where I live.
