I hope all folks there will be safe, and the power grid will hold. I recall several blackouts during heatwaves, and the higher the temps the greater the demand. I have loved ones in NY and NJ.

I've been living in the mountains of NC for many years, a place people come to escape the heat.
We have forests and streams. But I remember the summer heat of the city very well. These high temps will be brutal.

There's no escaping global warming, and shifting weather patterns.
