    Is anyone else having water shortages where they live?? This obviously happens all the time during summer, but right now Hawaii is being torched with brush fires because we haven't had any rain at all for months now. This ain't your normal drought, this is serious. There was a fire that broke out the other day that apparently was burning for months underground, meaning that it is so dry that fires are actually burning beneath the surface along the tree roots. I'm freakin out, I feel like my house is going to burn down. Anyone else going through this on the mainland?

    Michigan is low 80's during the day...during the night, it's low 70's or high 60's. We also just had rain...so we're straight gangsta.

    Actually, it's been impressively wet here this summer, actually. It hasn't been bad lately, but earlier this summer it was actually flooding in Texas. It's really weird weather for this time of year.

    It is raining outside right now, and for the past month and a half we have had rain 3-4 times a week. I am actually sick and tired of it.

    Big time, we're the second driest state in the US, and f*cking Las Vegas keeps stealing our water to put in their f*cking fountains. plus we have 10 major wildfires, with like a billion and a half acres burned already, plus its been 105 all f*cking week long and when it does get cloudy all we get is winds and lightning.

    I was in vancouver the last week and it was the opposite of a drought, it rained nonstop. I literally did not see a blue sky for the entire week, made me appreciate California weather.

    like Justice said earlier, the summer showers came pouring earlier and pretty bad actually, there was some flooding in some parts of TX. Right now tho its settling back to the hot dry humid as F*ck weather over here. Already tired of the heat, just a bi*ch to go outside for a jog or to play some b-ball outside.

    It's literally been 100 degrees Fahrenheit here for a few days and doesn't let up. It sucks my room is upstairs and the AC is downstairs so I get basically no cooling except for a fan (which does nothing except for if it's not hot). Old people are dying and stuff man.
