Apocalypse sooner than we thought? in Daydreaming on the Porch

It’s freakishly hot in the Northwest. All-time high temperature records are being annihilated. 116 degrees in Portland. 121 in central British Columbia. Reservoirs behind dams in the West are drying up. Wildfires could be worse then last year’s. Power generation is threatened.
