In reply to the discussion: I feel IMPRISONED by this heat. [View all]Siwsan
(26,248 posts)9. Day 3, of the heat wave in Michigan, but the end is in sight.
It's 94, today, and tomorrow is going to be in the high 70's!!
I'm doing much more going in and out of the house than I did yesterday, while keeping an eye to the sky. There's some VERY colorful satellite activity to our north west. Also LOTS of scattered, mostly small area power outages on the west side of the state. Looks like a big part of Michigan is under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
I was talking about the weather with the security guard at the store, and he smiled and said "At least it isn't snow!" Yea, I had to agree.
