Isn't this something we all expect every year in July and August nationwide?

I don't like to hear about the heat related fires that is taking place out west, but I need to say.

We Floridians experience 90+ degree days for months on end and we don't make the news....

Maybe people just have to use a little common sense in the heat.
Gotta say, I LOVE the heat. Coming from Minnesota where it can snow in July (I've seen it happen), this weather is heaven. Mark Twain once observed that "Minnesota has 51 weeks of winter and one week of bad skiing each year". He wasn't that far wrong. I'll take 95 and humid over weather so cold that diesel fuel turns to jell-O and icicles form in your nose hairs.
