Record Setting Heat for Father;s Day Weekend

“This will be the hottest two day stretch we’ve seen so far this year," NBC 7 Meteorologist Greg Bledsoe said.

The extreme drought in Southern CA and wildfires in CA are not helped by record setting temps. This has been the hottest year on record, globally.

I live in California, but in the SF Bay Area, so I have never dealt with any kind of wild fires or anything along those lines, but we sure do see a lot of it as a State. Part of it always seems kind of... surreal... to hear about a whole city or town being evacuated because of a fire. I think we can all just hope that everyone makes it out alright and nobody gets hurt. I know of course that people can still lose everything even if they themselves make it out alright. It really is terrible.
