Default RE: SEVERE WEATHER THREAD!!!!!!!

Well that's what you get for living in Fairbanks. I understand you guys get your fair share of heat up there too.

Here in the Midwest, particularly in St. Louis, we have had days where the air temperature was around 105 and the humidity was around 95%. Then we get someting called "Heat Index," where the weather man tells you it feels like 120+ degrees F. The problem is with the air being saturated with water, is you sweat, but don't cool off. People die here from heat exhaustion even sitting inside. We gotta watch out for the older folks around here because of that. It makes going to the airfield miserable. Couple all that heat and humidity with the scorching sun and UGH. I'll stay inside where the air conditioner works.
