And many counties here in western Kentucky are banning fireworks this 4th of July, because they are a Fire Hazard.

Pulled the Fyke net out of a pond today to do a fish survey - it was in the pond for about 18 hrs.
I had about 60 Bluegills that died, and one 20.5# snapping turtle. That's out of between 600 and 700 fish. It was brutal out there. The temp gauge on the side view mirror said 111°F, and all the way home it hovered around 102°F. Water temp in the pond was 86.7°F at 1' deep.

I guess there was one positive thing about yesterdays heat .... the information I was looking at showed mid-teens for humidity.
Some folks laugh when someone mutters the words "its a dry heat" but there is a difference.
We get into the triple digits and add high humidity with it .... thats when folks start dying.

The local weather station had us at 50% humidity yesterday.

hhmm.... I wonder what the deal was.
The current humidity maps online show our area as 50-60% too ....the data on my phone is showing us in the mid 60's as well.
So ... was my phone wrong (cant be ... smartphones are so smart) or was the humidity really that low in my area yesterday.
