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

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?

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.

this heat is a threat. look at the temperatures!!

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.

Plenty of people. Southern California is a desert that should have never evolved into such a populated area. There is nothing weird about a heatwave every few years. John Muir was warning about this 150 years ago before the state was even built. Many people wanted to make 90% of California especially all the coast a national heritage area but money talks. California is a non sustainable place. Northern California is far more livable and ironically unpopular because it has more normal 4 season type weather and it's wet damp and cold in winter.

I have a Storm App that says it’s currently 109 degrees in Lake Arrowhead, California. It was 114 yesterday at about 4:30 pm & hotter than parts of Arizona!! I am convinced they are using atmospheric heaters or technology to fuel their Globalist Fire Agendas!! The usual temperature patterns between the California Coast & local Mountains in comparison to the Arizona desert is way off ! This is so blatantly extreme that it’s absolutely creepy!
