A term I’ve never heard Derecho and a storm unlike I’ve ever seen inland. 200,000+ still without power including your favorite Okie. Small hurricane/tropical storm like damage is widespread. Not as hot as Austin but 95F, high humidity, and no A/C sucks donkey nuts. https://www.fox23.com/news/local/the-makings-of-green-countrys-powerful-weekend-derecho/article_0d26cee6-0ef0-11ee-8883-c7919549c338.html So, yeah. Oklahoma's governor is in France, but didn't bother to tell anyone. The Lt. Governor is out of state as well, but hey! He didn't bother to tell anyone either. So, this afternoon this happened: https://tulsaworld.com/news/local/update-state-of-emergency-declared-for-10-eastern-oklahoma-counties/article_49566dc2-0eaa-11ee-9ab5-7ba808306e58.html#tracking-source=home-top-story Quote Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, on Tuesday signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency for Choctaw, Creek, Delaware, Harper, Mayes, Pawnee, Payne, Rogers, Tulsa and Wagoner counties. The pro tem was notified he was acting governor by the Governor’s Office around 1 p.m. Tuesday, according to a news release. Treat said he has yet to hear directly from Gov. Kevin Stitt regarding the emergency declaration but has been in communication with Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum. Stitt and Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell are out of state. According to the Oklahoma Constitution, when both the governor and lieutenant governor are out of state, the power then falls to the Senate President Pro Tempore.

They are continuing to do what they do while us plebs are supposed to pick up the slack. My AC for my 2000 sq ft house being 4 degrees warmer is definitely gonna do it. Every grocery store in Austin running their AC and coolers with wide open doors...keep doing what you're doing.

Note that the new maximum LMP is $5,000 per MWh (it was $9,000 per MWh during the 2021 freeze). The costs being incurred in this heatwave are....enormous. Utilities plan ahead for this sort of demand and pricing in August. Not June.

June 20, 20232 yr Not too bad in our back yard, but I did water part of it this morning so the evaporation effect is probably keeping the temp down a couple of degrees.
June 20, 20232 yr according to underground 108 in San Marcos. Working late tonight so I can live in the river tomorrow.
June 21, 20232 yr So an hour ago, the reserve was at 5,000 MW. Now at 3,839 MW. But we should be okay.
June 21, 20232 yr Yes, it's hot, but I'm calling BS on weather folks. It seems like all the weather sites, including NWS, weather.com, accuweather.com, as well as local TV, etc, are all trying to claim the hottest Feels Like or Heat Index. NWS for Austin 6/20 7:10PM: Accuweather.com - Austin tomorrow 6/21 97 feeling like 114? Really?

June 21, 20232 yr Going to my first Austin FC game tomorrow. Yay.Austin Frying Club Can someone splain it to me? I'm a Texan. I've lived through plenty of 100+ days, but this heat wave just seems hotter. Is there some atmospheric thing that makes 2023 100 degrees hotter than 2008 100 degrees? I know I'm 15 years older than 2008, but come on! I spent time outside in 2008, not so much today.It is hotter and you are older. One-two punch.

June 21, 20232 yr Two weeks ago for the 15th time I was remarking how idyllic our spring had been. Like one of the best I could recall. Went to shit quick for sure. I picked a good week to go to Florida for sailing and boating. Not looking forward to coming back to Austin on Sunday. Brutal
