UPDATE!! California And Oregon Residents Describe Apocalyptic Landscapes As Wildfires Rage!!

You are so stupid. High heat means no humidity which means increased fire risk.

Exactly. High humidity would be worse for the elderly - if all we were talking about was the impact heat has on our bodies. In SoCal, the heat is a problem more because of extreme fire danger + illnesses from smoke inhalation. Massive amounts of dead brush is everywhere. It's not like the middle east or Arizona, where plants never have much of a chance to grow in the first place.

Who can deny global warming now?

all the leaves are brown ....

With all the fires in Cali, especially in rural and Republican voting areas, makes you wonder if they're trying to secure Dem win when they know they're not likley with the riots to do so and willing to burn all the Republicans out of house and home.

Congratulations, AC. You have proven yourself to be as dumb as you proclaim me as. I have lived through 110+F Summer days where the humidity was over 80%. This was years ago though. Such moderate to high humidity days in the Summer is fairly normal for those of us here in North Texas. Now enjoy being put in your lowly place, AC.

As for you, FivelCubed, such smoke in the air would not be bad just for the elderly, but everyone else in the affected area(s) as well.

The temperatures alone are not really a threat, OP. They are only a threat if the high heat also contains high humidity. Otherwise this is just more of a high desert heat. Do you hear the Middle Eastern Muslims complaining that it is hot every day?

An intense heat wave broiled large swaths of California this Labor Day weekend, shattering numerous records, causing thousands to lose power and fueling several brush fires that were threatening communities from Yucaipa to the Sierra foothills.

Forecasters had predicted historic high temperatures, and they were proved right. Dozens of communities set records Saturday, and a few appeared to record all-time highs, according to the National Weather Service.

In Woodland Hills, the mercury climbed to 117 degrees by 3 p.m., making it the hottest day ever recorded there in September, breaking the record of 115 set in 1979. Burbank reached 113, tying its monthly record set in 1971. Van Nuys hit 115.

The mercury soared even higher to the east, with Palm Springs hitting 122 and Indio 121. Officials said at least three areas tied or topped all-time record highs: Alpine (113), El Cajon (114) and Idyllwild (103). The weather service said Burbank appeared to tie an all-time record at 114 degrees.

Who the fuck cares where you are from in redneck Texas. You don't know these foothills. You have zero idea of the terrain and what these temps and low humidity means. We are socked in from smoke. Go fuck yourself.

wow ... 122F ... to survive that without air-conditioning I guess you have to stay in shade and keep dousing yourself with water

getting close to being uninhabitable in the summer

what must temperatures in Mexico be ?

114 here in santa cruz mtns/santa clara county

This is nuts...

Good! Fuck that insane asylum of a state and all the assholes who live there!

You are so stupid. High heat means no humidity which means increased fire risk.

Seriously wtf?

You do know that California is huge and has many conservatives that cant stand Newsome. Its the liberal hell hole cities that make you think we are all nutzo liberals but we are not and you are an ignorant fool. You can not lump all into one group and still appear to be intelligent.

I repeat not all Californians are nuto liberal and we hate them just as much as you but we realize that generalizing does no good for no one.

So do you think all black are horrible murdering racists?

Yeah. All those cars driving around and factories producing stuff during the lockdown really screwed us up, dude.
