Although I love summer, it is these types of weather systems that remind
me
why we don't live in Florida.

Boy tell me about it! 96 here yesterday. Real hazy and windy today.
Everything is dry dry dry. Our irrigation systems haven't shut off for 2
weeks.

Had to cancel a flight this morning due to thunderstorms slowly building and
passing through north of here. METARs near the storms showed some pretty
nasty winds and wind shears.
I was supposed to fly up to Eagle River, WI this morning to pick my son up
from camp, but because we had to pick him up at exactly 11:30, not earlier
and not later, and the airport crew car is limited to 1 hour, I was forced
to ask my wife to drive the 2 1/2 hours each way. It would have only took
40 minutes to get there in the Aztec, flying really straightens the roads in
the northwoods!
