re: Would you be willing to deal with this heat every summer if you knew it would protect us

Heat and drought or just heat?

My answer is different for each.

We legitimately need a "Whine about the heat" board

If we couldn’t get a Rona board we ain’t getting it for this. That was peak level whining. This isn’t shite.

I doesn't protect from hurricanes, but if it would then sure.

Its South Louisiana, I sort of expect it to be hotter than the hedges of hell between June - early September.

it it actually did protect form hurricanes, yes id take it.

the heat isnt bugging me too much.

No because statistically speaking you aren't going to get a major storm every year.

I've transitioned from worrying about hurricanes to worrying about rednecks burning leaves.

Heat is one thing, drought is a completely separate issue. I'd be ok with a few hot days in a row if we got a 1/2" or more of rain every 3rd or 4th day.

Nah I'd take a hurricane every 5-10 years over this shite. I live 30 miles inland, what's the worst that can happen with hurricanes? Once every 20 years the eye wall passes directly over me, Electricity out for a few days and slight possibility that I have to get some minor roof repairs? Speaking for myself of course, but yes I will take that over this heat for 3 months every year.

Days like this I really feel for the tankerman out there. I used to do that,asphalt barges. A 100 + August day on a barge of hot asphalt loading or unloading ,that heat going through you from boot to hard hat. Unreal.
