DRY HEAT!!! hilarious!!! I was told all my life that Texas was a dry heat and dummy me believed it. So the first time I ever went there we had been in the car for many hours so the temperature was staying nice and cool inside with the AC. We rolled into the parking lot of the hotel and I made the mistake of opening the door without proper precautions which apparently would have been soaking bath towels in cold water and wrapping them around my body... Or at least something!. So I opened the car door and melted onto the parking lot.
As someone who lives in Plano, a town right next to McKinney, I can confirm we saw all the buildings and everything in McKinney evaporate before our eyes.
@@username-jo8kf The heat was caused by a plasma beam that was being fired on McKinney by a ufo. Thankfully the beam was indeed concentrated only on McKinney. I should know, i was a prisoner aboard the ufo and saw the whole thing. Those green S O Bs did some really sick things to me and i will have nightmares for the rest of my life. But i'm lucky compared to those poor people in McKinney. That meteorologist was right, steel dose indeed boil at that temperature.
I used to live in McKinney, I remember the day it burned to ashes. I was a somewhat poor man, I had no car, and I had a basic, small but strong brick house. I woke up one morning at about 6:30am to see on the news that a large fire appeared in the center of town with no explanation, and that it was spreading too fast for firefighters to extinguish. From there I just made sure to not go to the center of town until the fire was put out. From there, at about 7:00am I heard that the fires were spreading and engulfing the streets surrounding the center of town, causing people to have to leave, although many people died before they could escaoe to a safer area of town. About 15 minutes later at 7:15am, the local government was urging any able bodied residents to immediately volunteer to fight the fire and possibly push it back some. The battle against the fire seemed to be not pushing it back, but at least stopping the spread, however by about 9:00am, the majority of people were out of water and other supplies, and from there, the operation had to be abandoned and mandatory evacuation orders were given. But then, something very bad happened at about 9:02am, the fires instantaneous spread 5 miles in every direction, so many people died, I could hear the screams echoing from that part of town. I was in a firetruck, but the firetruck ran out of fuel, so I, the driver, and the rest of the passengers had to abandon it and keep running. However, suddenly around 9:45am, tiny sparks were flying around the entire town, and within about 2 minutes, I heard explosions everywhere, at this time, I was about at the McKinney city limits. Finally, I reached the end of the city limits, once I reached them though and left town... I just couldn't go on, I stood, watching McKinney, or what was McKinney perhaps, burn. I remember hearing the final scream as it faded away, from there, I knew that most of the population didn't make it out alive, and that the town would never be the same, I also knew that the fires would probably keep spreading, that's when I had to make the decision, do I go on?. So I had to press on, but when I decided to keep going, I saw that the fires had nearly caught up with me, but then I saw something strange... they didn't spread outside McKinney, everything was fine in Greenville where I was, so I just walked deeper into Greenville and started my life over. This tragedy was many years ago, and I have managed to fix my life again, but I will deep inside, never be the same after that day.
@@Texasiscoolorsmthidkiforgor Look, if you were there, you wouldn't laugh. I used to be quite a mean and careless person, but from that day on, I vowed to never laugh at another person's tragedy again.

As a person who is from McKinney and is still alive, I can confidently say it didn't feel that hot. We are just too cool to be burnt alive in 101,105 degree weather.

Fun fact, steel boils at 5200, a twentieth of the reported temperature. Not only is everyone in McKinney dead the entire area has been vaporized and has been reduced to lose atoms and electrons from the heat. Man Texas weather can be rough.
not only is everything vaporized, the Whole planet would be gone because the rock that McKinney is built upon is also vaporized, thus releasing pressure from the core of the planet.

Absolutely! Pete Delkus used to be on Channel 9 in Cincinnati. He is serious when he has to be, like when he stayed on the air for over 24 hours straight during & after the deadly Montgomery-Blue Ash tornado in 1999. But, it's too bad that some people are so petty that they demand an apology just because you aren't as miserable as they are--even in Texas!
Good Ole Pete! I live around McKinney (20 minutes away, small town) and I have major Astraphobia. Once there was a really high chance of a tornado in my area and my dad didn't know how to calm me down, so he flipped on the new to show me how far it was, and when Pete started cracking jokes it made me feel better!

There's a lot of people on here who are trying to say that the weather station has to "apologize" for this malfunction. While they aren't "necessarily" wrong the apology was also clearly made in jest. The apology itself made fun of the situation and jokingly said that it wasn't actually a sabotage. The reason so many people are claiming they actually had to apologize is because some random news station tried to make it seem like it was a genuine apology. Here is a direct quote of the "apology" "We're sorry, McKinney Our heat index map mistakenly said it felt like 101105 degrees in McKinney yesterday. @wfaaweather handled it the way you might expect - and no, it wasn't @JesseWFAA's fault 😂 For the record, the real heat index was *only* 105"
@_peters6221it's just beautiful irony that the people that get most easily offended are the ones that claim other people get too easily offended. I think in psychology that's called "projection".
You really can't trust anything, with the way people were talking I imagined they went on air and made a formal apology for the joke, not that they made a tweet casually acknowledging the error.
@_peters6221 What needs to be understood here is that we've regressed to an 1880's mindset where rumors you hear at the bar trumps facts and evidence because there's no way to effectively share anything directly with anyone else on the Internet. Also, who cares to double check if something was actually true?

Imagine listening to the weather man in the background while youre doing something else and out of nowhere you hear him say "everyone in McKinney is dead."
He really let his intrusive thoughts win with that quick "Everyone is in McKinnley is dead" and thank god he did because this clip is one of my favorites.
Was actually in Dallas that night. Even in the darkness of nighttime could actually see what looked like a white-hot firewall in the northeast direction from the city.
Autistic and "Everyone in McKinney is dead" is probably going to be repeated by me multiple times internally (and probably externally when I'm alone) now. The delivery makes my brain happy.
the average tempature of the sun in Fahrenheit is about 10K F° meaning the tempature of MCKINNEY is 10.1105 times more hotter (in tempature) than the surface of the sun.
I love how some TV meteorologists have the audacity and capacity to just run with whatever garbage their weather software puts up on the screen. Good job going with the flow there, Mr. Delkus!
My favorite part of this video is the fact that logically it would have to cool down approximately 101,000 degrees before getting to a neighboring city
McKinney just solved our clean energy problem! Power for all of us, forever-or maybe a catastrophic meltdown to the earth’s core? Stay tuned for the next weather news!

For the record, that is approximately ten times hotter than the surface of the sun.
This feels like a set up for a Tim and Eric skit, like we're waiting for Jan and Wayne Skylar to show up at any second
I love that fast response time from him.
He really let his intrusive thoughts win with that quick "Everyone is in McKinnley is dead" and thank god he did because this clip is one of my favorites.
Pete Delkus is an absolute gem
He says it so matter of factly it’s perfect
Why do these meteorologists always nail milking the errors so perfectly this guy got me striking my chair's armrest like an anvil
I love how very dry the "Everone in mckinney is dead" delivery was.
Just said it like it was normal news.
Was actually in Dallas that night. Even in the darkness of nighttime could actually see what looked like a white-hot firewall in the northeast direction from the city.
I love how he fixes the mistake and says "it's probably about 105".
Autistic and "Everyone in McKinney is dead" is probably going to be repeated by me multiple times internally (and probably externally when I'm alone) now. The delivery makes my brain happy.
this is the BEST most GENUINELY HILARIOUS weatherman recovery from a typo i have EVER seen.
Hey siri, what's the weather?
Siri: It's 101,105.
Oh, it's a bit colder today!
“It’s hot in McKinney” Is definitely an understatement.
Prayers to all the families who lost someone in McKinney. Truly heartbreaking
The way he just plays along without a hint of hesitation with what's clearly just a typo is golden.
Watched this live and I was thinking.."Good thing I didn't go to dinner in McKinney...".
the average tempature of the sun in Fahrenheit is about 10K F° meaning the tempature of MCKINNEY is 10.1105 times more hotter (in tempature) than the surface of the sun.
Not 10x hotter, rather it's 10x as hot. If you wanted to get how much hotter it is it's 9x hotter.
@@letcreate123 whats the difference? genuinely curious
@@pukei yea sounds about right
I love how some TV meteorologists have the audacity and capacity to just run with whatever garbage their weather software puts up on the screen. Good job going with the flow there, Mr. Delkus!
I love how he just goes with the flow with this
this guy went from average weatherman to legend in a heartbeat
I can confirm it was that hot
My McKinney folk I love y’all, see you on the other side
good ol pete i watch u every morning before work thanks pete
He was so straight faced and full of confidence as he said "Everyone in Mckinney is dead." lmaooo
At 10,000 degrees, the air turns into plasma. The whole town has essentially turned into a mini-star.
RIP McKinney.
I love how you can hear the co-workers in the back faingly lauging.
This is my first time seeing this.
Pete played that off masterfully. Not even skipping a beat.
“Everyone in McKinney is dead.” This guy deserves a raise lmfao
He had me crying 😂 I would start watching local news and weather if they acted like this all the time.
My favorite part of this video is the fact that logically it would have to cool down approximately 101,000 degrees before getting to a neighboring city
"Everyone in McKinney is dead" - that one forcaster
McKinney just solved our clean energy problem! Power for all of us, forever-or maybe a catastrophic meltdown to the earth’s core? Stay tuned for the next weather news!
