How hot was it?

Hot enough, thank you. It was 118 F (47+ C) here this afternoon. That's hotter than it's been since I moved here. Later there were heat of the day thunderstorms in the area, but none here.

I saw the video of the house that got hit. I think lightning must have hit the swamp cooler or the power line going into the house, because there didn't seen to be any damage to the roof, but there was smoke leaking out around the cooler and elsewhere. I wondered if it stormed as far south as your place, but sometimes its hard to tell from the radar maps. All I got was a little wind, but nothing exciting.
