Workers brave the rain to fell trees at Bethel

Workers from Doug's Tree Service spent most of the day today cutting down two trees at Mount Bethel Cemetery on Locust Street.  One tree was along Locust Street - the other on the cemetery grounds. A half-hour afternoon deluge almost put the damper on the project, but several workers muscled through the rain and succeeded in felling the trees. 



                         A few small repairs







The rain begins, with what appears to be St. Elmo's Fire emanating from the tip of the crane.

This worker was undaunted by the downpour.










August 2016 - NOT what The Doctor ordered



August has been a record month by itself: Currently there have been 22 days with high temperatures in the 90s - which ties the record from 1980. If we make it to 90° this Wednesday afternoon (as we should), a new record will be set of 23 out of 31 days in August with highs at least 90°.

Three of these days were not just in the 90s, but in triple-digit territory. Averaging the month's temperatures together, it will end up as the warmest August on record.
