June 28, 2012 Ft Wayne Weather

[Dave Doehrman]

Anyone remember June 28th of last year and saying "Gee, I wish it would cool down"?

I was looking through some folders and found this shot of my Davis weather station display. This was about 7 blocks west of downtown Fort Wayne, just after 3 in the afternoon.

106.9 degrees outside with a heat index of 127 degrees.

Yep I remember at I am sure I said the same thing. I wasn't really thinking about it being 10* when I made the comment though!

That's XtremeVel and I's wedding anniversary. Remember what happened the next day? We were going to go out for dinner and got sidelined by that freak storm with 90 mph. windshear. No power, trees down everywhere.

I remember that heat wave...gave me a great excuse to sit on the porch & drink a few cold ones!

FWIW, I will take 8 over 106.9 any day. Either way, after extended periods outside I could die. It's just with the colder option I won't die a miserable sticky swamped out mess.

Yep. I had a 30 degree temperature drop in about 2 hours. Lost some trees and the wind toppled my Vermont Castings gas grille. The city was swamped with calls so I ended up breaking out the chainsaw and clearing the street in front of my house. A couple trees in the park fell and completely blocked the street.

The people on the other side of my street are on a different electrical grid and they were without power for a couple days. I lost my power for about 30 minutes. I went up to Young's Longshot Range the next morning and it was like driving in a maze. Trees down everywhere and streets completely blocked.

Heh, know what else was that week? Rifle range week! Humped there and back every day in the 110+°F heat!
