Heat Wave

For the past 7 days the Eastern US has been hit by a heat wave that has broken countless records. We were in the upper 90s to the low 100s with high humidity. It got so bad here that my dogs were huddled in my room trying to get all the cool air from my small ac unit and my fan - and they were succeeding. When I lived in New York and Virginia we had central air and a pool, but here we only have some ceiling fans, 2 small window ac units and no pool.
People here in New England are used to having very cold, snowy winters, but are not used to having very hot, dry summers. It was hotter here last week than it was in Texas (they were getting a lot of rain.)It was almost as hot here as it is for my dad in Iraq - but he is in the desert and we aren't.
Last night we had some thunderstorms that broke the heat wave. It is now in the 70s. It is supposed to thunderstorm today and tomorrow and then the 90 degree temperatures are expected to come back on Monday.
