Yeah, it's hot as fuck out here. But as a southern Arizona native, this heat wave doesn't seem too much worse than most summers in recent memory. I'm curious if this is more a result of increased homelessness (and declining resources to support them) rather than drastically raised temperatures.
Well if the power goes out, you’ll know right away.
