Canada-US heatwave: Hundreds of deaths could be linked to 'heat dome', authorities say
The Canadian province of British Columbia receives at least 486 "sudden and unexpected" death reports between Friday and Wednesday afternoon, while in the US, more than 60 deaths are linked to the heat in Oregon and at least 20 in Washington state.news.sky.com
And there is a hurricane named Elsa headed for Florida! It isn't a very powerful one thank goodness.
I hope your friends are okay too. Another entire (90%) town has been wiped off the map, the village of Lytton, BC, which had the highest temp ever in Canada (49 C / 120 F), a few days ago, was hit with wildfire and the town burned within hours, they are still not sure if everyone was able to get out. For context, British Columbia is normally our wettest province with more rain per annum than any other region due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean.
We can only hope that this crazy weather will wake more people up and changes happen.

I was at the beach with my family on Sunday, and it was cold enough for a hoodie -- in July! And today it's back up in the 90s.After three days of upper 90’s it will cool down a bit. Crazy how the temperature can fluctuate all the way down to 69!
