Friday of last week, two million people in the Washington DC metro area lost electrical power. As I write this, eight days later, half a million still have none. Oh, and by the way, the temperature every day in between has been around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s the ambient, dry-bulb, actual temperature, not including humidity. Taking the humidity into account using the official, nine-term double quadratic parametric equation which has additional factors for the relative humidity measurement, the heat index for each of those days has handily exceeded one hundred degrees, hitting such notable values as 105, 108, 110, 115 and so forth. This demonstrates the venerable local proverb that the difference between Hell and Washington DC in the summer [...]
