power just went out for about 10 seconds and i had a mini panic attack thinking about how awful it was going to be with no a/c. so glad it's back. knock on wood.
― tehresa, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 23:37 (twelve years ago) link
If the power goes out, I will just drive around all night. It's way too nasty for that shit.
― kkvgz, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 23:52 (twelve years ago) link
No joke, our A/C went out two days ago, the repair guy came by yesterday and was basically like
\_(oO)_/ "I don't know this time, sorry! I might be back on Thursday, maybe!"
And the landlord says that maybe it's finally time to replace the whole system?
Meanwhile, the heat index on Friday is supposed to be 116!
― Z S, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 13:57 (twelve years ago) link
So far our AC is holding steady, meaning it runs constantly. Can't wait to see our first power bill in this place (95 yo house). ZS we can put you up if you need a place to beated the heat. Warning: the guest room is currently bubblegum pink with safari animal murals.
― quincie, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 14:14 (twelve years ago) link
Also half the toilets don't work.

But your ac is working, so life is mostly good I guess

Can't complain. But might anyway!

not sure how well this shakey a/c unit is going to hold out
― Gukbe, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 16:50 (twelve years ago) link
thanks quincie - but i've already got a place lined up for the weekend, just in case.
our landlord is already apologizing and talking about prorating our rent, which is cool, but also suggests that it won't be fixed anytime soon.
!
― Z S, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 17:46 (twelve years ago) link
landlord should be doing more than talking imo -- should be buying you a window unit or something. 116 heat index is no joek
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
fortunately my a/c was just repaired in june so it should be good to go. if not, i'll go camp out in my office, which is insanely cold.

thats a sunglasses dude AND a very important mnemonic
I am so baffled by the dude at CVS looking at humidifiers today
― I DIED, Friday, 22 July 2011 00:57 (twelve years ago) link
Tomorrow (Friday): Combining the heat and humidity, it’s perhaps the most extreme day in 15 years. High temperature surge to 99-104, with dangerous heat indices of 114-118. Add bad air quality into the equation, and consider cutting back on any planned time outside.

9pm heat index at the airport was 111

Holy crud. Isn't there just a baseball movie they could go watch indoors somewhere?

I think they might be able to use a gym and throw tennis balls around.

lighting and some raindrops around here in Alexandria. should cool it down a bit.
― Gukbe, Friday, 22 July 2011 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
also my a/c, while not totally dead, is providing less cool air. I've shut it down for a bit and am relying on fans.
The severe thunderstorm missed the District by a couple of miles. NWS has now cancelled the Severe Thunderstorm Warning. However, cloud to ground lightning strikes are currently being reported in parts of D.C. Please remain vigilant.
