"A lot of people probably don’t want to celebrate our nation right now, and we can’t blame them. When there is so much division, hate and unrest, why on earth would you want to have a party celebrating any of it?" the statement began.

    But in all seriousness, you know in your heart, Fourth of July fireworks are amazing, especially when you are standing in 90° heat, 100% humidity

    At night? Dear Lord. Kill me. I hate that weather

        I’m really wondering if we’re gonna start getting wet bulb warnings from the NWS, because it feels like wet bulb half of days lately. I walk out my front door and am immediately drenched in sweat which straight up doesn’t evaporate. Not sweating at all would be advantageous here because it literally doesn’t work at all. There is no cooling.

        You go outside, become wet, and then get more and more wet and out of breath until you re-enter air conditioning and can survive again.

      They are barely exaggerating. It’s been that way almost every day since mid-May. Heat index of 110F most days, occasionally more.

      I’ve lived here most of my life and this is noticeably the worst summer I’ve ever experienced.

      The entire state of Florida should be declared a human health hazard and evacuated at gunpoint.
