also on their 19th day in a row of hitting 110*F or more, breaking their previous record of 18 days from 1974.  forecast predicts nothing but 110+ for the next 9 days.  must be a miserable place to live right now (more so than usual…)

phoenix is also out of water.  they city is contemplating investing $5.5 billion (likely to end up costing way more) to build a desalination plant at the top of the gulf of california in mexico, and a pipeline to carry the water to the city.  sheer madness.  at some point we're going to have to admit that we can't, and shouldn't, live in certain places - like the middle of a frikken desert.

otis is a much more pressing concern… hopefully the folks in acapulco have time to get supplies and find shelter.  storm went from tropical depression to Cat 4 in less than 24 hours, which is unheard of, and is expected to landfall as a Cat 5.
