Big T Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Ok, it usually gets pretty hot here in Southeastern NC but this is rediculous. We set record highs this week; as it was anywhere from 95 -97 degrees. It got so hot yesterday and today that the, DOT had to have the Wrightsville Beach Fire Department spray the metal gridding on the draw bridge with water because the metal expanded and would not shut completely. And this birdge opens every hour to let boat traffic through. Quote
daviscw Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 We have set temperature records about 3 days straight here. (Just west of Winston Salem, NC.) I know how you feel. P.S. I have family and friends living at Wrightsville and Oak Island. Quote
frogtog Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 We had two tournaments on Kerr Lake this weekend and man it was HOT!!! We also lost a lot of fish at the weigh-in. It really was to hot to fish. Hmmm I didn't think I would ever say that. Quote

By the way Raul do not say a word because we are NORTH of the U.S. Mexican border. (no offence) -seaorach Quote
Hookem Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Weenies...... Signed, Slighty north of the southern border. Quote
Super User Tin Posted June 9, 2008 Super User Posted June 9, 2008 In RHODE ISLAND, according to weather.com it is 97 and feels like 106. A few Sundays ago it was in the low 40's upper 30's. : Quote
frogtog Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 105 in Tarboro, NC today and that won't the heat index either. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted June 9, 2008 Super User Posted June 9, 2008 Nothing like Wilmington at 105*. I think my shoes melted onto the deck of the USS North Carolina. Quote
Big T Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 It was 99 degrees today at 5:00 PM, Wrightsville Beach Fire Department had to spray the draw bridge for the 3rd day in row. I do not know what is going to happen in late July and August when it really gets hot. I hope they do not spray that bridge every hour when it goes up. So much for Gov. Easley's water conservation.
