This is s-s-s-cary [View all]

I don't think I have ever seen a weather map where every city in the entire country was red like this--and this is an improvement from earlier in the week when there was no orange at all.

I know it's July but this is not normal--or maybe it is...the new normal. Either way it's bad.
