HI ALL:
I received this e-mail alert this morning. I was out and about in the heat yesterday and I drank plenty of water, but still ended up feeling a bit dizzy and sick. Just think......It is only mid-June! How's the weather in your neighborhood?

Advisory Which Is In Effect Until 7 am CST Sunday.

Hello Bonnie, Like Ron above, I only go outdoors for really important things like fishing. Thanks.
Penny, I hope you and yours have a place to evacuate to........that is what is known as a "catastrophic failure." You have my sympathy.
It certainly seems its turning out that way. However, as much as I do not like the combination of high heat and humidity, I'll happily exchange them for NO HURRICANES! Unfortunately, these conditions actually make any tropical systems more organized and stronger.
