The sun is shining and the tempurature is rising1

Throughout the past several days we have seen extreme storms pop up all around our area. Some of these storms have been extreme with the level of lightening causing house fires and significant damage in many neighborhoods.  These storms can come out of nowhere so be prepared.  So far, we have had a mild summer compared to previous years – but that’s about to change.  These strong storms are bringing in the heat and taking us into 3-digit levels at weeks end. Follow all safety precautions when the temperature gets too high. More than 700 people die from extreme heat every year in the United States. Take all necessary measures to keep cool by staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water. Limit outdoor activities and chores especially during the midday hours when the sun is at its hottest! We are now entering the Dog Days of Summer – stay safe and stay cool!
