Lisa and I are staying indoors almost exclusively. She's got the air conditioning in the travel trailer, and I have the swamp cooler in the living room, which helps a bit. OTOH, I normally want to keep the windows open at night to let the heat out, and that's not necessarily a good idea under current conditions. And yet, with all that, we're in so much better shape than people to the west of here. What I've seen of the Bay Area and the Sacramento Valley is so much worse.
What we all need is rain without wind and lightning.
