HOT!

[tmp]

Yesterday, it was 119 in Woodland Hills. I don't know what the actual temp on the westside was, but I was driving up Sepulveda Blvd towards Mulholland and stuck my hand out the window. It was exactly like sticking my arm in a dryer vent.

Today, I went to the Chevy "RevItUp" thing at El Toro. I had signed up for the 7 am run, because I knew from experience that it would be hot there by noon. I was there for an hour, and they closed the event for lightning, making us wait in our cars for about an hour or so until the radar showed that the storms were going around us. The lightning was putting on a show. I got finished at about noon, and drove home on the 5. It was hailing in Irvine, pouring in Buena Park, raining in Commerce, spitting downtown, and raining again on the westside. All with lightning strikes. But the good thing is that it seems to have cut some of the heat. Yesterday was horrible, even with the AC running (thank god my friend gave me one she no longer uses, I would have had to go sleep in the bathtub last night without it). It's supposed to cool off early this week, and then get hotter. Oh, joy.
