THE BIG ALERT

I grew up in southern Nevada and have lived here most of my life. However, the other day I was checking the weather and realized there was a weather warning in effect. I figured it must be a flash flood storm or high winds coming our way. However, to my dismay, the weather alert was EXTREME HEAT??????????

I was dumbfounded!!!
That is like going to Alaska in the winter time and packing shorts? Or bringing a jacket to Hawaii in the summer time? SO STUPID...

I'm glad that I checked the weather that day because I viewed the warning telling me, dude today is going to be HOT!!! If I hadn't sat at my computer and checked the weather, I would have gone outside and experinced HEAT, EXTREME HEAT?? Wow, that warning almost kept me from going outside and doing what I normally do outside every day here.

If any of you are familiar with the southern Nevada climate, you know that pretty much from June to late August you can expect temperatures from 105 to 120 on any given day.

A few tips the natiaional weather service provides for this EXTREME HEAT ALERT, are provided below:

1. Spend more time in air conditioning places
2. Drink plenty of water (not alcohol)
3. Slow down, dont work outside in hottest part of the day
4. Do not take salt tablets
   
   Then I realized that this warning just must be for stupid people.

I imagine someone sued the weather service station after a trip to southern nevada because they were not forewarned about the HEAT.

PULL YOUR HEAD OUT!!!
