Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I'm sorry sympathy is all i can offer right now.I have personal knowledge and experience with swamp coolers & surviving massive humidity shift. What I don't have is a way of grafting my not-so-typical with high metabolism and born/initially raised in Michigan genetics that have allowed me to comfortably adapt to the vast levels of humidity..... without diing every time..... just congieling every so often.

Lol, lucky you, sounds like!

Better to have them and at least give people an option to turn to. Our area got hit by a tornado during shutdown and storm shelters were not allowed to open because of covid. Most people didn't get a tornado warning...

Virus, tornado, unemployment, murder hornets, floods, protests, election year craziness, why not some hurricanes...

It’s going to be 95 here today and I have a feeling nasty storms are coming. Once it gets hot like this it becomes the perfect weather for tornadoes.

Only thing I ever used in NM, where the humidity was 3%. Here in MO it feels more like 80% and up! Help me, I'm melting!

My friend lives in MO and she has said it’s been quite muggy. She lives right on a lake

I don't have a high, or even normal metabolism and the first year I lived in the deeper south with oppressive humidity I was sick and nauseous all hot season long. It was awful.
Eventually each summer got a little bit easier, even without AC, bit it's still a struggle. Here I have central AC, thank goodness.

I know, why do I live where it gets hot and humid?? Because being out working in -20F and feet of snow wasn't my cup of tea either. Yeah, I'm finicky like that.

I remember seeing that on the news and feeling so bad for the loss, the damage, and especially that people had no place to go.

Our day got darker, today. A few "pages" back, I asked for prayers for Myra, the mother of a friend. She lost her battle with Covid. She was 66, with a minor health issue that should have had no bearing on the virus. That makes three for us. I hope that means we're done.

I'm so sorry!

We have been blessed with two or three really nice days, hooray, but starting this afternoon the muggymeter goes way up and remains so for the next week. But we are happy the rains stopped! Like you, with the heat comes possibilty of storms, hail, severe weather.

We are hitting the high 90s today. I’m going to put my chicks in the shed brooder since it’s hot enough for them.

Hey there, Clucky - you're instincts are spot on. It's time to batten down the hatches! The weather wizards are already predicting a huge, rapid drop in temps tonight, complete with dangerous wind gusts and ... gulp ... hail. We're right at the top of the Chesapeake Bay, here, and that nearly always means a tornado down on "The Neck." That's single digit minutes from my place ... but right on top of my brother. As much as I love thunder-boomers, I am NOT looking forward to tonight!

Where in Michigan? My grandparents were in Mesick when the only shopping option was a one-room country general store. We would walk there ... and throug hthe reserve to the Manistee. I still have family in Davidson. I remember Sleeping Bear when the gift shop was an old wooden ice-cream shack ... and Traverse City before anyone had even heard of a mall! Chubs off the pier at Frankfort ... and three feet of snow ... for EASTER!
Wow - what a trip down Memory Lane. You just made my morning without even trying! I desperately needed that, today. THANK YOU!
