I'm told that Palm Springs in !SoCal's #Low_Desert reached 111F today. Multiple places in the #High_Desert should also be above 100F tomorrow and Sunday (Sat 2023-07-01 and Sun 2023-07-02), but with low humidity.
This isn't like #TX, where parts of the state were under "wet bulb" warnings (so hot and so humid that people are likely to die because their bodies cannot cool off) recently. -

Co-worker S called (at 01:00 US-Eastern!) to tell me about her progress with the #Raspberry_Pi Zero I sent.
She also told me that there have recently been severe thunderstorms from #TX to #FL. Those #t-storms have produced some #tornadoes, too. I knew there had been an alert in #MS because I saw someone there discussing it.In conversation from mustard permalink -

Speaking of #tornadoes, I'm watching the Weather Channel in the lunch room and they are talking about severe #t-storms and possible tornadoes in #TX, #OK, #AR, #MS, #AL, #TN, #KY. These are fast movong storms, so there is no time for waiting until a storm is confirmed. In conversation from mustard permalink -

Storm and extreme cold causing #outage s in #TX (50-75K customers without power), #AR (22K), #MS (12K), #TN (136K; 118K in and around Memphis), #KY (10K), #OH (20K).
For most of those, these are not particularly high numbers, but if you see them on a map, you see a diagonal line across the country.In conversation from mustard permalink -

NWS sent 20 alerts within about half an hour. See https://nu.federati.net/notice/3389312 for more details. It sounds like it could wind up being a repeat of the weather that caused the #TX power grid to fail and led to people freezing to death in their homes, mobile homes, and apartments.

I was talking to one of my brothers and the subject of the #TX electrical failure came up. I said that we are too smug in #CA, when
(1) Our homes are not heavily insulated, so if below zero temperatures came, we’d be dependent on utilities not failing.
(2) The fires in NorCal a few years back revealed that our state Public Utilities Commission is under the control of the utility companies, just like Texas’ privately-owned grid operator. Californians generally use natural gas for heating, instead of electricity, but some of our natural gas utilities have reputations for skimping on maintenance.
(3) Every time a power company has a “public safety power shutoff”, that’s a reminder that their lack of infrastructure investment threatens the homes and lives of Californians.
In short, a version of that could happen in #California. I’m not saying it is likely, but remember that Texas’ experience wasn’t likely until it happened.In conversation from Shoyu permalink
