According to Washington County Emergency Management Deputy Director Melissa Mayes, 100 mph winds were reported in Ramona just after midnight as the severe storms moved through the area.

Those winds are equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane.

Winds between 74-80 mph, or Category 1 hurricane strength, were widely reported in Bartlesville. The Mesonet site in Copan recorded a 64 mph gust, Wynona reported a 69 mph gust and Talala reported winds at 71 mph.
 
Category 1 winds while I was out on the porch watching limbs fly by.
 
LOL, I live in the extreme area.

Day three since Cat 1 winds came through here, still picking up limbs and twigs.

Building up some wind breaks. This one is six feet high.
 

Scorching temperatures break records in Massachusetts​

Boston hit 101 degrees, breaking the all-time high temperature record of 100 for the month of June. Just before noon, Boston broke the record temperature for the day at 97 degrees. The previous record of 95 degrees was set in 2013.

Earlier this evening a billy goat walked past my house towards HWY 60. Turned him around and eventually got him back home three blocks away. All Animal Control had to do was tie him up.
 
Then we had to turn the heating systems back on due to a 40 degree swing.

Tuesday 6pm: 99F
Thursday 6pm: 63F

LOL, in Michigan, where I grew up, heat wasn't turned on until it dropped below 50°F.

Here in Oklahoma, I do not turn my heat on until it drops down to the 40s. I dress in layers.

Well call me spoiled as I've been used to climate controlled comfort since ~1976 when my parents added a full HVAC system to their house. Same in my own house.
