It's 106 degrees right now in San Francisco [View all]

The news just said it has broken all reported records. As a native I never remember it ever being over 95 degrees. I get nervous in this weather because earthquake type of weather.

While I was out earlier my car thermometer said it was 107 outside. We don't have a lot of air conditioning so I worry about the elderly who have no way to cool off. I've got three fans going on.
