“Texas power grid is built for the heat”
That’s what they said about the cold but we found out they privatized the infrastructure so it’s cheap af and the developers took all the money. Thanks tax payers.
One of the reasons I moved from Fort Worth to Arizona. Out of the frying pan into 120 degree heat. 😜
What got me about Texas, instead for reinforcing their power grid. They what to build a wall ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Texas is the state I am watching. The dumber that Trumps Republican party gets. The bluer Texas becomes.
And yet Texans would rather die of the heat than have a one server electric company. Fake competition.
Meanwhile in summer-time Rio de Janeiro: _laughs in 130°F/50°C heat indexes_
First Texans were freezing during winter with no power- no they're going to be sweltering through the summer with no power. Both are deadly dangerous situations... they really need to reconfigure their power grid.
It's almost like our actions effect the environment
Yeah its almost like human beings may have some role in changing the climate by burning oil and releasing CO2.
Yeah it is strange releasing trillions of tons of a gas into our athmosphere, changes things, hmmm how strange huh?
Yeah! No one ever told us!
Trump said global warming is fake

Are they going to blame the wind turbines for not keeping up?
@Mr. Orange But who are they? Are they from somewhere else?
I'm waiting for the drought to be Obama's fault.
@Mr. Orange he is making shet up.
They are going to blame joe Rogan
Wind turbines are melting!
We haven't reached the warmest part of Summer yet. July still ahead.
@Str8 Campin I don't think we hit peak Hot yet. Hopefully it Rains and the Temprature stays below 220 Degrees. Boiling Rain is all we need.
I wouldn’t expect heat like this all summer, this is unusual. maybe some places experience above average temps, maybe below average who knows. Usually the south and southwest is where the heat is v
I don't think the South West will get much of a Monsoon season this year.
@Totenkopf Maurader I'm going to a Lake for Swimming and Water Skiing..if I have to die in a Slow Frog Boil, I'm going to enjoy it.
@Str8 Campin Texan here, it's usually not this hot this fast. As a firefighter/emt, we're seeing a lot of heat exhaustion/heat stroke calls early this year and it's worrying. But what do I know, people just gonna believe what they read on facebook anyway.
Some of the comments here make me find the Allegory of the Cave to be painfully true.
Look at how nervous their faces are do you know how bad this is going to get
indeed...
Do they Know???
God is sovereign. Maybe they should check with Him.
worse every year I bet
@@JohnTLyon Any of them with some brains have known for decades.
It's like a desert in my region.😓
Hopefully it will become like the inside of an oven after the power dies and the water is shut off
Same here in the San Joaquin valley
Mother nature is taking her home back.
I think it is climate change!! Seem mankind has polluted mother earth so bad. Time for payback.
It's about time, she's probably reaching for the reset button
@Wumbo Columbo's Squeaky Armchair The Sun? Haven't you noticed the storms? Notice that last year and the year before? Naming Hurricanes they keep running out of name and resort to their back up names. I keep seeing a lot of tornadoes. Did you see Texas Freeze and lose power?
SHOCKING
Cover the earth with concrete,asphalt black roof tops and eliminate forests for wood. Gosh..who knew🤷
@@Campzzyzx You must be another Trump supporting idiot? Mankind needs more renewable energy and lower their use of fossil fuel.
She is correct, those are some maps that jeff is showing us.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Women amirite
😂
It’s about time people start to repent the book of revelation 16 says And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. Repent and ask god for forgiveness you ppl have time.

The Sun Is A Deadly Lazer
The Sun controls the weather and the moon controls the tides, don't tell anyone it's a secret😁
Oh stop. Now you're going to give Marjorie Taylor Greene more crazy ideas.
@@friedpuddycatgamer4682 Tilt of the earth
It is Nuclear powered .
@@myballsitchsomethingfierce6319 Yes seasons are caused by tilt of earth. But I'm talking the sun controls the earth. Heat, makes food grow, causes water to form clouds which makes rain. The moon controls the tidal force. The sun's output does change. But the problem is inland rain has lessened because of farming and the cutting down of trees. Also our oxygen comes mainly from the ocean. Algae.
Most of the C02 In the atmosphere is from the industrial age. It's not new.
I'm an Arizonian, every summer of every year we reach "record breaking heat". Every summer every one gets ready to bear these heat waves; honestly, the only surprising thing every year are the deaths caused by dehydration and/or heat exposure. We live in the desert, folks...get prepared.
I'm from deep south Texas, none of this is surprising to me. Changes every year. We've been through this before. Notice how for the last four years none of this was relevant. Now they're going to be pushing its "global warming" just watch..
@@ibiscar06 it's getting hotter every year. Don't be a denial. Global warming is real.
@@znsaidi I'm sorry, but I've endured 100+ heat here in my area years before. Practically every year. Also, search the ice caps and how they've been adding ice for decades. Search the nasa pics. I dont think we got out of the ice age because Neanderthals created global warming. They're all cycles. And if it is real, then we should start by telling our "climate czar" to stop using his massive, polluting, private jet to fly around.
@@ibiscar06 you should probably educate yourself. Statements like that just make you look stupid.
@@georgelux126 Its not just a statement, I've lived 35 years in Texas, I would know. As to the ice caps, check the NASA website, its there, I didn't just make this up. And if you didn't know, for the past, at least 15 years, U.S. has been going down in its carbon footprint as opposed to other nations such as Russia, China, India to name a few, with 2019 being the largest decline in CO2 emissions. Maybe, instead you should educate me. I'll wait for you.
if only this heat could be harness for energy somehow or something...
It can be harnessed* with solar panels
You go to Harvard and get on that!
Ridiculous! It needs to be used to grow plants, to feed dinosaurs, who then need to be compressed for long periods of time. Then, we can use electricity to attract it and refine it and transport it. Only THEN can we really harness power from the sun! /s
What if in the future, humans could somehow alter the path of a hurricane? That way we could send it straight into the heat wave part of the country where they desperately need rain!
@@natedawg8778 weather manipulation like in the veitnam war?
The Central and Southern US will be unable to support crops by 2050. Better get used to this.
Lets Grow Some Tropical crops there as well as grow crops in central and northern canada
The more people work everyday job the more destruction is to come. We need to focus on the eco system not the economy.
2050? If it keeps goin like it has, it'll be much sooner.
Dust bowl coming
I’d say sooner than that. Locals in my area (in AZ) are ready to grab pitchforks and storm farms that continue to stubbornly grow very water dependent crops like alfalfa.
Not literally....yet, anyway...but the anger is there.
Wow they have to keep their thermostats at 78. I’m so sorry for their poor souls. He said they’re getting into the 90s and 100s. I live in Vegas we got to 116 and we never turn our thermostat below 80. It ain’t hard.
I live in New Mexico and ours is always at 78. I’m also pregnant.
I keep mine at 79 during the day and 80 at night. It's not so bad as long as you're not doing a lot of strenuous physical exercise.
Amen.
Nevada has dry heat, texas has humid heat. Dry heat is bearable but 105@ 90% humidity will do some damage.
Those are some maps you're showing us there, Jeff.
Ahhh.. Yes some maps.... 💀
Yeah, she's just emphasizing the situation
Nobody in TX with AC is gonna set the temp at 78°.
The guy telling other people to it down isn’t either
78 always ❤️
62 degrees all day. 😒
Or not use washers/dryers.
@@pamelariley6694 I wash early in the morning around 6am & I have a nice backyard with a drying clothes line. Air drying conserves my clothes more.
I feel for the farmers experiencing droughts in this whole area of extreme heat.
Feel for ALL OF US. If farmers can't grow food WE DON'T EAT!
@@mindpowerwellness4856 I agree but some people who have 3 or more kids and live in an apartment with no yard in a city setting will be the ones most at risk.
@@mindpowerwellness4856 . I would love a garden, but I have so much shade in my yard it's hard to grow the kind of grass that does well in the shade. Seriously.
@@lance3748 find and plant foods that grow in shade. Greens (like swiss chard) can't handle too much sun.
@@dorksplorer . Thanks
It's funny how my friends in Palm Springs never call to brag about the weather when it's over 120, too hot to go out and jump into the pool.
We did break a record the other day at 123….🥵🥵🥵🥵
Anyone who lives in Palm springs is an idiot, I know a rich guy who moved there from Indiana and bought a big expensive house. Now he will die there in the desert
trump supporters don't believe in Climate Change, they think is a HOAX.
@@oneirishpoet Lol That's funny dude, I imagine the scene. Well.
Derp!?!!? It’s almost like this trend of record breaking heat waves every other year is culminating into something incredibly awful… If only someone, like maybe someone knowledgeable and sciency had only warned us continually about such weather changes for the last 30 years??? Oh well probably Jesus will save us let’s just ignore whatever this is…
Tell Joe Manchin about it!
@@MrLandonweber Joe manchin wants to hunt he doesnt want to be fed ideas. :P
The world has been ending for decades now, the climate is changing, but not due to humans.
@@MomsRavioli Nope. That is incorrect... Anthropogenic climate change is real, and the climatic changes are largely what is accelerating ecocide... A great book to read to educate your self is the Sixth Extinction
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History is a 2014 non-fiction book written by Elizabeth Kolbert and published by Henry Holt and Company. The book argues that the Earth is in the midst of a modern, man-made, sixth extinction.
@@MomsRavioli Were in time for Ice age based on statistics so not sure what not due to humans about it. Plus earth is getting further from the sun aswell. Just does not add up
I wonder if Ted Cruz will flee to Canada now?
I thought of running north to have some cool days till I realized it is like this everywhere.
Alex, hahahahaha,
Power companies around the country get rate increases on a yearly basis. They make BILLIONS of dollars, yet where does this money go? I feel quite certain that the money goes into their pockets!
Living in Phoenix, we see more than our share of very hot weather. Stay safe America🇺🇸! Stay hydrated.
If you live in Phoenix then you aren't very bright, that's one of the worst places to live in the country. It's beyond stupid to have millions of people living in the desert...with no water. You all will soon be climate refugees and deserve to pay for your ignorance
@@oneirishpoet Couldn't agree more. Arizona IS a beautiful state. Phoenix has lots of jobs available. My company transfered 25 of us from Albuquerque, New Mexico(A much more livable city in my opinion) Like most of the people that live here, they're here for the money. The cost of living is high. My wife and I are looking to move closer to family in a few years.
Arizona has some great places. The Grand Canyon, Williams, Flagstaff, Sedona are amongst some of the most spectacular sights in the world. We love to travel to Tucson on occasion, great city.
We are not ready for electric cars, when we have these issues
"uh huh, you're welcome" With a cherry on top. lol
Texas, its called infrastructure.
Here we go again 😃
I remember as a kid having over 100 degree days in Illinois and we had no air conditioning.... 🙃😳🥴 we survived 😊
Lack of humidity.
@Paula Gray I'm sure what you wrote is true but all I'm saying is we can survive easily keeping the temp. at 78 inside a house or apartment instead of a lot cooler in the summer during heat waves.... just like we can keep the heat at 68 in the winter..... we all can do our part.
@@pamelariley6694 We have humidity just like other places.... maybe not extreme like Florida but we don't escape it either.
@Paula Gray WOW.... no but put your thinking cap on Paula 🤔... if it was 100 or above and we had no air conditioning... we did have a fan.... then how hot do you think it would be ??? 🙃
118 in Blythe,CA today....120 tomorrow...122 on Saturday.....
Let’s hope people don’t forget kids and pets in cars
But not prey right 😑
5 yrs ago when I moved to Phoenix we were 1 degree below breaking the record 124
PRAY FOR RAIN! AZ IS HAVING WILDFIRES!
Had about 15minutes of rain here in Preacott today
Yet they want us all to drive electric cars? How are we going to charge them?
Im sure the western part of the u.s is a desert area.
Mostly south not north
You’re thinking the southwest, and even then it’s surprisingly mixed. While it’s mostly desert, sure, but the higher elevations where it’s mountainous have forest areas. Flagstaff, AZ even has a ski resort.
Massive amount of spraying the past few days in CA
The heat dome is in the area of Yellowstone
I'm glad I don't live in Arizona anymore.
i dont know how you survived out there its hellish
I'm in Tempe, it's almost unbearable outside.
@@countdebleauchamp yikes no idea how you can manage
I just looked and it’s 100 degrees at midnight
That’s insanity
@@kjlandon9140 Yeah when I first moved here, I assumed it cooled down at night. It doesn't, at least not in the urban areas.
The power grids do not seem stable anywhere lately.
Expect more grid problems as the heat moves east.
And we don't seem to be learning anything from that lack of stability.
Too much vitamin D...
Right now in Imperial Valley are 123° degrees...
I live right in Texas and this has been going on since the begging of June and I would like to say for all the other ppl who also live in Texas pls be safe and drink lots of water and stay inside or if your outside please go into a shady area to prevent a heat stroke
This is just the beginning Du du duuu
Just say it man... Lol
Don't say du du
People need to get off the grid when possible. And infrastructure including the grid needs to be modernized and turned green and renewable.
😂
78° F thermostat settings are much better than the absolutely frigid 68° F settings recommended in CA and MS. I' d be fine with a ceiling fan spinning at 78° F.
You need to break the grid up into sections. With hydro alternating system with a water tank using the same technically as a vehicles battery and alternater system
I live in Vegas we stay on 110 plus for 45 days sometimes
The fact that carbon emissions and global warming weren't mentioned at all in this report is criminal.
I live in Las Vegas and it was 118 yesterday
I laughed after " Those are some, maps you're showing us there Jeff " she was not listening at all 😄
Record breaker ! Just like last year.
well yeah. Most years break the record set by the year before.
It’s a different kind of hot nowadays
Decay of the grid
Decay of reliability of the grid
its 120 in Apache Junction Arizona
Thanks for showing us those maps, Jeff.
Us Texans I can promise you we are not keeping our thermostat at 78 lmaooo
I would never live in Texas.

@@mrike5651 what
Sweet Jeff
It's 77 here in Ohio. Air conditioners are only designed to lower the outside temperature by approximately 20 degrees so if it's over a hundred Outside 78° Inside feels cool you would get sick indeed if it was a hundred and five outside and 72 inside. If it's over a hundred outside you can put your air conditioner on any temperature you want it doesn't mean it's going to get there it will keep running and running and eventually burn itself out
As an HVAC technician, you are slightly mistaken. Most AC systems are designed to produce a temperature differential of 20°. That is true. However, its not 20° below exterior ambient temperature. Its 20° below the return air temperature coming back into the blower. If the air temperature returning to your blower was 100°, then that directly implies that the temperature in the house is 100° at the return air intake. Which (I hope) is not the case. With few exceptions, residential HVAC systems do not have any built-in capacity to draw in outside air. High exterior temperatures will however, increase the amount of time that your thermostat will call for cooling, thus dramatically increasing the cost to cool your home. There is an exterior temperature at which the heat inflow exceeds the capacity of the installed cooling system. Above this point, the temperature in the home will begin to exceed the setpoint even though the AC is running continuously. This temperature is different for every home, depending upon installed cooling capacity and insulation. This is why proper home insulation is so important. Decreasing the rate at which heat enters the home will save significant amounts on cooling costs.
At 122F outside my ac blows out at 50F. Being from Ohio myself I know the schools are bad there.
Illionis is in the heat wave.
105 at least for my county.
Wouldn't it be great to have some shade trees around the house?
Conservatives: this is fine. Everything is fine
Why didn't you report on the record breaking COLD snap a few weeks ago???
All this does is make me further and further east to Florida event where Miami is looking solid for temps year round minus hurricanes.
117 in Phoenix yesterday
