I saw a post on FB about people suffering a terrible heat wave this week and likely into next (we can always pray for the winds to change and the rain to fall...) in Europe. The article cited was from Grist with a headline "It's so hot in Europe, the temperature map is screaming".

The article included a map of the heat hot spots and such which had a resemblance of "The Scream" (also pictured.) They also relayed that a heat wave like this one in 2003 was related to 30,000 deaths. Extensive forest fires in Spain were among the pressing matters 'making things worse.'

Here's my share about the Cornwall CT Tornado of July 10th, 1989...30 years ago. I read a lot of other comments on CT's Northwest Corner Chatter.  There are thankfully not too many tornadoes do such carnage as that one,  particularly with the devastation of Cathedral Pines. Yet there are some serious storms and conditions to be on the watch for not only from above but as I share also (for those who haven't caught up on the theme of the last many posts, of the passing of our teen son Kaelan ten years ago, in June 2009, in the Housatonic River in CT.)

See more information about this very moving turn of events regarding the untimely passing of a professional diver Steve Wingard of Falls Village CT during a working situation clearing a drain below a hydro plant.

The details of what caused the malfunction or accident are not clear, however the family is very appreciative of the support people are sharing on many levels, including with raising funds to cover funeral experiences.

Steve Wingard was a skilled worker with that extra edge for adventure and capability.
