Who has Saharan Godzilla Dust Cloud on their Bingo card?

I await your witty replacement response.

Why? This thread, when it is not the dirtiest thread ever, is entirely devoid of matter.

[Big RR]

I guess we have to dust this doomsday threat off every so often; probably the damn Libyans, or the Vegas casino owners.

Looking at that map at first, I thought someone was tracking an early-season hurricane.

Whatever happened to Flash's son, Flesh? He's rarely been mentioned since the early '70s.

Too much exposure, probably.

And there's more:

A potentially deadly weather pattern is setting up across the central US

Extreme temperatures coupled with high humidity flowing from the Gulf of Mexico have set the stage for life-threatening heat in parts of the central and southern US.

Texas and Oklahoma are no strangers to excessive heat in the heart of summer and, a little over 10 days into the season, the region is bracing for stifling heat through the upcoming holiday weekend.

Temperatures are set to feel hotter in Dallas,Texas, than in Death Valley, California.



Earlier in the week, parts of Texas registered the ultimate mark of oppressive warmth. Some cities including San Antonio, Lufkin and Victoria set records for hot low temperatures, with some failing to dip below 80 degrees even in the overnight hours.

When little relief is found overnight, conditions lend themselves to dangerously hot temperatures the following day.

The seriousness of excessive heat cannot be overstated. Although hurricanes and tornadoes gain the most notoriety in the world of weather, many are surprised to learn that it is heat that is the top weather killer.

In fact, heat kills nearly twice as many Americans each year than tornadoes and almost three times more Americans than hurricanes.

Heat advisories are in effect for over 22 million Americans from Missouri to Texas, including in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
"Highs will push well into the 90s and above 100s in some areas," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said.

Air surging in from the Gulf of Mexico will make, Dallas, Texas, reach a heat index -- what it will feel like once humidity is factored in -- of 110 degrees both on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

With these feel-like temperatures, the National Weather Service advises that heatstroke is likely within a few minutes of physical activity outdoors -- or merely from prolonged exposure in the elements.

On the plus side, once hot weather gets here COVID-19 will disappear.

All that red on the weather map reminds me of the states currently polling toward our Big Grifter.

It's summer here. Sometimes in summer it gets hot. Sometimes it gets really, really hot. I seem to recall that being an issue since I was a kid in the 1960's and recall days of temps in excess of 100F. Not feels like, but actually is. It just keeps happening and is turned into some kind of panic issue every year.

I think the issue is not so much that there are heat waves, which have always happened, but their frequency and nature. Extended heatwaves where the nighttime lows exceed 80 degrees, for example, used to be rare and shorter.

So says our Fearless Leader.  Sorry, but I don't believe it ... mainly because everybody will be hunkering indoors where it's air conditioned and a comfy 70° or less.  So much for the heat destroying the virus.

Quite frankly, the only I believe when Trump speaks these days is that if he says four sentences, one will be self-promotion, one will be a lie, and one of the remaining two will be some sort of bullshit to try to justify the lie.
