WARNING

Heat Wave in USA on Tuesday, 31 July, 2012

Parts of three rivers in Yellowstone National Park will be closed to fishing due to unusually warm water temperatures. Starting Wednesday, park officials will prohibit fishing on the Gibbon River below Gibbon Falls, Firehole River below Keppler Cascades, and the Madison River. The reason is water temperatures ranging into the high 70s - too warm for trout. Warm weather, hot water from thermal features and low stream flows all are causing the water to warm up. Warm water can be stressful or even fatal for trout. Yellowstone officials say the forecast calls for more warm weather and that could cause additional areas to be closed to fishing.

Nice thread. I too often visit those websites.

Have you ever been to www.globalincidentmap.com... ?

If not, I recommend it. It has all your disaster maps all on one site. Check out the fire one, pretty much the entire west coast of the US is on fire by the looks of it.

It just keeps spreading more and more.

and they will continue to become much larger since the drought conditions are forecast to remain at least until October or longer.

Well if I would have looked into it a little more and found out it was just chicken pox...

That's got to be miserable to get as an adult. I'm glad I went through it when I was little.
