Cindy<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://norcal.social/@LoraFisherPOV" class="u-url mention">@<span>LoraFisherPOV</span></a></span> </p><p>I still remember the <a href="https://spore.social/tags/heatdome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>heatdome</span></a> in B.C. in 2021. It was awful. Somewhat lucky in Vancouver at just mid-30&#39;s, Celsius. The town of <a href="https://spore.social/tags/Lytton" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Lytton</span></a>, B.C. burnt down -- to a crisp. Their temps were at about 49C. A screeching train with sparks flying started that fire.</p><p>So, I totally empathize with other places in the world experiencing 40-60C now. Just unbearable.</p>
