Flash flooding is no joke. We haven't seen anything like this in a long time.

The other strange event was or is the unprecedented heatwave we experienced here in Arizona this week. A few days ago we hit 115, the previous record high was 107. Breaking the record by 8 degrees, especially this time of year, is unheard of. The low that day was just a few degrees lower than the normal high. The 10 day forecast is 10-15 degrees above normal. 27 years here and I can't recall it ever being this hot this late until the year.

and this year has been just the opposite here in West Texas.
we did hit 106° one day all summer, but mostly topped out around 102°ish.
we typically get to 110° at least a few times and sometimes up into the the one-teens.

I have an aunt and a couple cousins in far eastern Tennessee who can't get home because their houses are gone. Not just flooded, gone.

Mike, I'm so sorry to hear that. They probably live close to me. My wife and I have been making some trips to Erwin, Elizabethton, and Asheville, NC to deliver supplies (my wife has a lot of her family and friends in the Asheville area). Let me know if they need anything or a place to stay. We have a guest room. We live near Kingsport, TN. I am dead serious about this.

Anyone on the west coast of Florida between Naples up to New Port Richey may want to get the fuck out now.

I know there are a few BPers in that area....Milton won't be a CAT 5 at landfall but it will have the storm surge of a Cat 4/Cat 5 when it does....and if it wobbles about 30-ish miles north, there won't be a Tampa....

Tampa is one of those statistical anomalies that intrigues me.

I showed earlier in this thread the number of times my hometown has been directly hit by hurricane since 2008 (5 times).
2 of those were majors and a 3rd was just shy of being a major.
and I was only about 40 miles from being a direct hit by Katrina, which would have put me at 6 total and 3 majors.

Tampa has not been hit directly with a Major hurricane in 103 years.
yes they have been impacted, but no direct landfall in the Tampa area for over a century.

Just crazy to think
