It gets HOT. Really HOT. But your house doesn't blow away, wash away, burn down, or shake to pieces! I'm praying for folks in LA and CA.
I agree, our "natural disaster" is your AC broke.It gets HOT. Really HOT. But your house doesn't blow away, wash away, burn down, or shake to pieces! I'm praying for folks in LA and CA.
When we moved into our new apartment in Tucson in June of '94 the temperature read 106... we actually thought it was cool compared to the 90+ with 90+ humidity in Houston.... my wife's son helped us move and stayed a week with us in Tucson, then went back to Houston...We are having an incredibly hot summer. 48 days over 110...expect to break 50 on Friday. Previous record was 33 days. Staying inside. Turning off the whole house AC at night and running a window AC in the bedroom to try to keep our electric bill from going through the roof. Only time I go out is to the mailbox LOL. it was 106 when I went to get the mail at 10pm last night.
With the heat & humidity in the Houston area, AC is a 24/7/365 necessity,
My wife also has Sjogren's Syndrome. I know what you're dealing with. Best wishes.
If it wasn't for the news reports,I'd say what storm. No rain and just a few wind gusts of less than 20mph here in Pearland.Edgar, did you guys get much from the hurricane... as I remember Alvin is pretty close to the bay and just across the bay from Beaumont where I saw that the outer edge of Laura hit Orange and that area.....
I have a close friend that lives in Alvin... worked with her at my last job. She and her husband are retired and as I understand he's not doing real well with his health.
That's a good thing. From the news pictures up here it looked to be a pretty horrific storm and I wasn't sure how far west it was hitting.... It's been about 15 years since I lived in Houston (I left right after Rita) and I didn't travel down your way very often. I have a step nephew that lives in Seabrook and did a couple of shows down that way. My sister in law lives in Conroe... she said she lost power but otherwise was okay... her son lives in The Woodlands... haven't heard from him, but if Linda is okay and in contact with my wife she would have said if he was in any danger.If it wasn't for the news reports,I'd say what storm. No rain and just a few wind gusts of less than 20mph here in Pearland.
{I'm not Edgar but I live just a few miles from him).
Hope you are safe from Laura!With the heat & humidity in the Houston area, AC is a 24/7/365 necessity,

I have cousins in Austin. But I think the worst I've ever seen was Galveston in August. I thought I would drown every time I took a breath.When we moved into our new apartment in Tucson in June of '94 the temperature read 106... we actually thought it was cool compared to the 90+ with 90+ humidity in Houston.... my wife's son helped us move and stayed a week with us in Tucson, then went back to Houston...
3 days later he called and wanted to know if he could move out with us.... he said "It's like breathing under water here"....
We stayed just over 14 months, then I was offered job back in Houston at a salary more than the two of was making in Tucson... an offer I couldn't refuse. We stayed another 10 years before I retired and moved to Tennessee. It's been pretty warm here this summer... temps in high 80's and mid 90's for a couple of months.
Little things huh.But your house doesn't blow away, wash away, burn down, or shake to pieces!
