109 on the porch -- hot enough?

[Kathie in Thorp]

We finished out Saturday at 111, under the porch roof. High on Sunday was about 108 -- kinda weird as it was 100 before noon, then the high around 1:00, and it was back down to 100 by 3:00. But there was a front moving in from the NW over the mountains, so that might have brought the cool. Big fire in Wenatchee started Sunday afternoon about 2:00. My daughter was driving home to Wenatchee area from Seattle and snapped a pic of that fire when it was at maybe 50 acres near Monitor. Winds do NOT help! We had a short thunder storm here this morning -- one humongous boomer that literally made me fly out of bed at 6:15. Thank you, Lord, it didn't start anything in the area. They are still fighting fire in and around Wenatchee. Flying embers from maybe a mile away, and across major streets, started some commercial buildings on fire -- propane tanks blowing up and all kindsa mayhem.

after last year I didn't figure you had much left to burn around there

Hope the winds die down and things get under control, though that's not exactly what the weatherman was calling for

Last year was up in the Okanogan, Nesi. It's like a patchwork quilt -- fire here; then another square; then another. Once it burns good, it's probably safe for a couple years.
