Chatting, today, with hire-boaters returning their narrowboat 3 days early because of the heat. I told them: 7 minutes from here there are tree-lined moorings, the shade will reduce your onboard temperature at least 5°C (9°F).

It's too bad, because they'll never again hire a boat. People with good experiences tell their friends, and support #CRT and canal funding.

Rough night. My backup generator that takes over power in a power failure at my home failed after 8 hours of faithful operation.

My feeding tube pump had enough battery backup to finish the night. It discharged quicker than it should have so I need to call and get a replacement battery pack. We had a supply of oxygen tanks that don't require electricity but I will have to call to get them restocked. Will need to see if they can add an extra tank or two to the inventory.

Luckily, AEP got our power restored not long ago. It was out for around 17 hours.

The service code on the unit leads to a problem with the engine. I hope it isn't very expensive to fix... always something. #Ohio #Weather #Derecho #OHWX

3/ Home now. Home area got hit hard. Below is a video of where we got gas this morning. There was a tractor trailer on its side close to home where it was toppled over. All of Penny's corn that was planted, 6 large raised beds worth, which had green beans growing up them are gone. uprooted and sent elsewhere. She is doing a walk-around of the house now. Cats started purring as soon as we came in the door, glad we are home. Our construction "garbage" pile was sent elsewhere. Lot of debris. The neighbors picked it all up (it was mostly in their yards) and had it all loaded on the back of a trailer ready for the dump. They were very upset about the damage to our yard and garden because it has come a long was. Overall, we were blessed and in good condition. #PaulsYard. #Ohwx #wx #Ohio #Weather https://www.wlwt.com/article/brown-county-gas-station-video-storms-warning/73407928

The Poseidon Adventure

“There's got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let's keep on looking for the light

Oh, can't you see the morning after?
It's waiting right outside the storm
Why don't we cross the bridge together
And find a place that's safe and warm?

It's not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It's not too late, not while we're living
Let's put our hands out in time

There's got to be a morning after
We're moving closer to the shore
I know we'll be there by tomorrow
And we'll escape the darkness
We won't be searching anymore”

Woke up early to see what remains in the neighborhood after a wild night of storming at 1:45 am. All quiet and calm. The dawn color in the sky tells of the drama passing and clouds forming tells of yet more possible rain today yet to come. Blue sky is very light patches top right, blues to darker clouds and purple grays on left and across center. Sun rise below on center bottom edge is warm yellow with a blush of red and orange. Neighborhood treetops and some palm trees on lower left in distance.

So so so fine this last half hour sitting alone in a cool breeze. I’ve only seen a few cars pass and no people venture out yet.

Somehow I’ll bet the street repair is not coming again this day. Since Thursday signs and tow warning bollards are out so no one parks street side. The old crumbling asphalt was scrapped to rough it up for a whole new layer. I bet all road crews are recruited to remove downed trees and debris instead. #Weather #Monsoon #Phoenix #Morning #6am

5:29 PM EDT Monday 10 August 2026 Impact Level: Extreme Forecast Confidence: Very High At 5:29 PM EDT, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking a severe thunderstorm that is possibly producing a tornado. Damaging winds, large hail and locally intense rainfall are also possible. This is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening situation. Take cover immediately in a basement, interior room, or a sturdy shelter when threatening weather approaches. If no shelter is available, lie in a low spot and protect your head from flying debris. If you are out on the water when threatening weather approaches, return to shore and seek shelter, if possible, or move directly away from the path of the tornado. Otherwise, wear your lifejacket, lie face down and protect your head. Emergency Management Ontario recommends that you take cover immediately if threatening weather approaches. Tornado warnings are issued when a thunderstorm is producing or is likely to produce a tornado. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather in Ontario, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on social media using #ONStorm. For more information: ontario.ca/page/be-prepared-emergency. In effect for: Ottawa North - Kanata - Orléans

Current conditions weather report for this part of Phoenix. It was a screenshot from 5 hours ago. I believe it is now likely 115° and feels like 121°. There are no graphics, just plain black font on light gray background. The temperature is listed largest and in red to stand out. Other details are not important in this situation.

Dog walking, half seven in the morning, this morning, two hours after I woke up, an hour after starting to type, half an hour after a coffee, I wandered past this eerie, dystopian scene.
Usually this ground is full of laughter, chaos, and blurred images as the children dance and run.
Why not today?
Was I just earlier than usual?
Was it deemed "too hot"?
Who knows - but there is a tale to tell about it, that`s for sure....

#Silent Sunday #Travel #WestPark #Pinner #play #playground #weather

Alt...

This is a rather curious picture of an empty children`s playground, and it is kind of made even more eerie by the fact that I have purposely bent down and shot through the black metal fence which contains the rides. The fence is forbidding, it is constructed so that each pair of railings conjoins at the top in a curving semi circle, and there is a straight bar that marks the top of the fence just below where the semi circles end. This is definitely the focal point, but over the fence there is an assemblage of play equipment, yellow red and blue swings that lie idle and unswung, a climbing frame, a house on short stilts with stairs that take you to the house proper. And I have to say the desolation is enhanced by weeds, sprouting up in the front of the frame, mid-way, and to the very side of the right hand railings. The tree backdrop also adds a strange note, for there is but one patch of blue sky, twisted with clouds, making it seem this playground is in the middle of a haunted forest, and not haunted with the kindly sort of ghosts.

Still under dual #weather advisories here: Both heat and air quality. However, the air quality has improved hugely as of this morning, down to 'moderate' levels. And the sky shows it, with much less haze. The mountains I couldn't see at all yesterday are now visible as outlines.

Yesterday was another lost day where I didn't do much and the dog was bored. Today I won't do much outside again because of the heat, but hope to get a few things done in the morning or early evening.
