Hi, @QVCkitty1 !  My middle sister used to live in Sugarland, SE OF Houston.  They had to evacuate due to hurricane Harvey back in the day.  Fortunately, they've moved from there and are now in Sparks, NV near Reno.

Here in Vegas, it's just stupid HOT.  Yesterday we hit a new record.  Here's the headline from this morning's paper about the high yesterday.

Air conditioning (or, at the very least, fans) can be medically necessary, and for those who can't get to a place that has it they don't just "hate feeling hot". 

There are ways to get a bit cooler at home, but high temperatures - especially combined with high humidity - is literally life threatening.

They're the ones I'm most concerned about.

Why does anyone have to add a political agenda to this topic?

@Greeneyedlady21 , My post was just a weather related slice of life, but I feel like I'm being shamed by some for not suffering enough. Sometimes it's just not worth it.

Last year I bought a duo of Geek Aire fans from HSN, based on all the positive reviews.

Wow!  Talk about handy!

The best part is they are rechargeable with USB plugs and can work when the power is out ... and they are portable!

Just fyi if you're interested -    HSN # 825-826 

Please keep cool .....

So glad we have a whole house generator.

My power company has a volunteer program where they can cycle air conditioning up to 20 minutes an hour when usage is too great. Some years, it happens once, maybe twice. It hasn't happened so far this year but I expect it to given our ever increasing temps.

We get a credit on the October bill each year for volunteering.

The power grid in America is often unable to keep ip with demand.  Is in need of a massive upgrade.
