I'm here in the Bronx, inside of an air conditioned house. But as far as it goes for outside, I hear that it's horrible. The temperature is supposed to be near 100 degrees. How awful!!!! I hope that it won't be like this for the 4th.:eek:

I went outside today and felt like I entered the realms of hell.
(Mocha repeating over and over: "I should have taken Soror AKA2D's advice and stayed my a$$ inside until the sun goes down")
FeeFee, I'm with you when it comes to the H20....I can't get enough!
This heat is serious people:

(July 3) - Power outages left people without air conditioners to fight the July heat in parts of Colorado and Connecticut, and two deaths this week have been blamed on the stifling weather in St. Louis.

``The heat is playing havoc on people,'' said Gentry Trotter, founder of Cool Down St. Louis, fund-raising and referral group that has received more than 3,000 calls from residents in the past two weeks.

Temperatures were expected to rise into the 90s again Wednesday afternoon from parts of the West and northern Plains to the lower Mississippi Valley and much of the East.

New York City opened more than 300 cool buildings to the public Wednesday to provide relief from temperatures expected to approach 100. Humidity during the morning was a sticky 67 percent, the National Weather Service said.

``We're knocking on the door of record heat,'' said Dave Robinson, New Jersey's state climatologist. Triple-digit temperatures were possible; the record for the date at Newark is 105.

A transformer failure in Connecticut left about 12,000 residents of eight towns without fans or air conditioners during the night. Most were back on line Wednesday morning.

``The transmission system there is under a great deal of strain,'' said Connecticut Light & Power spokesman Chris Riley.

The New England power grid was on alert as the heat cranked up demand, with highs in the low 90s possible as far north as Portland, Maine.

In the West, about 700 customers of Xcel Energy lost electricity Tuesday in Colorado as a 12-day heat wave with highs in the 90s and record demand strained the state's biggest energy supplier.

Grand Junction, Colo., hit a record high on Tuesday of 103.

Two heat-related deaths have been reported this week in St. Louis, for a total of six in about a month. One victim had an air conditioner that didn't work, and the other had no fans or air conditioning, authorities said.

Stop hiding inside...come on out and suffer like the rest of us :p

It's 11:00p.m. here in the Motorcity where the temperature is at 82 degrees. So just imagine it in the daytime!! It has been in the 90's all week. Needless to say I have the central air on full blast!!

For real! I know my electric bill is going to be SICK, lol. I just moved into a new apartment two weeks ago...I haven't cut the air off since then :D

For the NY and Jersey folks...whew! Please take it easy out in that heat! Matter of fact, let me just extend that to everybody!!

LOL @ lil_sunshine - I went over to my uncle's house in the Bronx for the 4th of July and I think that he got the holidays mixed up. Not only was there food cooking on the grill, but homeboy got up early that morning to turn on the stove and cook collard greens, yams, macaroni and cheese, etc. My aunt was like, what is wrong with my husband?? If it was 90 degrees outside, it had to be about 250 in the house. Poor uncle - he just wanted to make sure that his peeps get plenty of grub to eat ;) Bless his little heart :D

Dang!!!
