It is Tuesday, August 29th. This past four days (and the entire summer) we have set records for high temperatures. Yesterday was 98F and today it's 97F. That's part of the problem with Hurricane Harvey. We have a high pressure zone far above us that is preventing what used to be considered the normal weather patterns preventing the wind from moving through and pushing Harvey further.
The further used to be out to sea to become a tropical storm, but now the tropical storm is just slugging its way to Louisiana. Unfortunately, Louisiana is already under sea level and sinking. That's partly because of the geography and partly because oil companies moved in.
Every day that Salt Lake City has temperatures far above normal, 10 degrees today, means another day that the Gulf Coast suffers.
Trump's EPA chief, Scott Pruitt, is still playing the ostrich game.
