I live in New England. It's supposed to be cooler up here in the summer, and it feels like the Deep South (95F+ for the past 3 days).

I moved up here to get away from that shit. Y'all can keep your gd heat. I hate it!
According to NPR, parts of Greater Boston hit 102 today.

I lived in Maine for about 12-15 years…..along the coast north of Portland…

Almost no one had AC when we moved to Maine; few didn’t have it when I left…….including oceanfront homes……remember, the water is 55-58 degrees right now.
 
Have friends visiting from Rhode Island. After dinner they got a text message from a colleague showing carnage around Providence from this storm. Looked like a microburst on their street. Trees down in a line, cars crushed, houses with holes in the roof etc. A microburst hit our neighborhood during Fran and you would have some properties untouched and then others where it looked like a giant walked on them. Our house (North Raleigh) had 30 trees down, seven alone on/ through the roof. Our next door neighbor had nothing but a few branches in the yard.
 
32 dead, including 14 kids, from flooding in Texas. A lot of girls that were at a summer camp are still missing, too.

Just horrific. According to CNN 27 girls from the camp that was devastated (Camp Mystic) are still missing, and while there is a massive search-and-rescue effort going on I would imagine that the odds are not good that any of the girls are still alive. Some were as young as 7. What a nightmarish story. :(

Just awful.

Shit! Poor kids.
 
Sadly, one of the victims at the camp was the 8-year-old daughter of former UNC footballer Patrick Marsh, who was a deepsnapper on the Bunting teams.
 
Is it known the little girl is dead?
Yep, unfortunately so. Patrick and his family live in Birmingham, where my wife and I just moved from, and his wife and my wife were in a women’s physicians group together. That’s how we found out this afternoon.

Damn, that is so heartbreaking. I cannot fathom the pain of losing a child. Truly cannot even remotely imagine it.
